2. He kept part of the money for himself. Sapphira knew he had kept it. He brought the rest of it and put it down at the apostles' feet.
3. Then Peter said, "Ananias, why did you let Satan fill your heart? He made you lie to the Holy Spirit. You have kept some of the money you received for the land.
4. Didn't the land belong to you before it was sold? After it was sold, you could have used the money as you wished. What made you think of doing such a thing? You haven't lied to just anyone. You've lied to God."
5. When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. All who heard what had happened were filled with fear.
6. Some young men came and wrapped up his body. They carried him out and buried him.
7. About three hours later, the wife of Ananias came in. She didn't know what had happened.
8. Peter asked her, "Tell me. Is this the price you and Ananias sold the land for?" "Yes," she said. "That's the price."
