He brought a portion and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, 'Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the proceeds from the land? 4 'Did it not remain yours while it was unsold? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to people, but to God.' 5 When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and died. And great fear came upon all who heard about it. 6 The young men arose, wrapped his body, carried him out, and buried him. 7 About three hours later, his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, 'Tell me, is this the price you and your husband got for the land?' She answered, 'Yes, that is the price.' 9 Then Peter said to her, 'Why did you agree together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well.' 10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. When the young men came in, they found her dead, carried her out, and buried her beside her husband.
