1But a man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property.

2And he kept back some of the price, with his wife also knowing it, and bringing a certain part, he laid it at the apostles’ feet.

3But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land?”

4While it remained unsold, did it not remain yours? And after it was sold, was it not under your authority? Why is it that you have set this matter in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.
