Acts 5:3-10

³Then Peter said, “Ananias, you (sg) let Satan completely control you MTY so that you (sg) tried to deceive the Holy Spirit and us(exc). ◄That was terrible!/Why did you do such a terrible thing?► RHQ You have kept for yourself some of the money you (sg) received for selling the land, pretending that you(sg) were giving us all of it.

⁴Before you (sg) sold that land, you truly owned RHQ it. And after you sold it, you could RHQ certainly still have used the money any way you wanted to. So why did you (sg) ever think RHQ about doing this wicked thing? You were not merely trying to deceive us! No, you tried to deceive God himself!!”

⁵When Ananias heard that, immediately he fell down dead. So all who were there who heard about Ananias' death became terrified PRS.

⁶Some young men came in, wrapped his body in a sheet, and carried it out and buried it.

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

⁸As Peter showed her the money that Ananias had brought, he asked her, “Tell me, is this the amount of money you two received for the land you sold?” She said, “Yes, that's what we(exc) received.”

⁹So Peter said to her, “ You both did a terrible thing! You two agreed RHQ to try to determine if you could do that without the Spirit of the Lord God revealing to anyone that you two tried to deceive them! Listen! Do you(sg) hear the footsteps SYN of the men who buried your husband? They are right outside this door, and they will carry your corpse out to bury it, too!”

¹⁰Immediately Sapphira fell down dead at Peter's feet. Then the young men came in. When they saw that she was dead, they carried her body out and buried it beside her husband's body.
