The Acts 5:5-6-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

5-6. When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. Some young men came in, wrapped up his body, carried it out, and buried it. And everyone who heard about this was filled with fear.

7. About three hours later his wife came in. She did not know what had happened.

8. Peter said to her, “Tell me how much money you got for your field. Was it this much?”Sapphira answered, “Yes, that was the price.”

9. Peter said to her, “Why did you and your husband agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The men who buried your husband are at the door! They will carry you out.”

10. At that moment Sapphira fell down by his feet and died. The young men came in and saw that she was dead. They carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

11. The whole church and all the others who heard about these things were filled with fear.
