Acts 5:4-15

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.

¹¹So all the believers in Jerusalem became greatly frightened PRS because of what God had done to Ananias and Sapphira. And all the others who heard people tell about those things also became greatly frightened.

¹²God was enabling the apostles to do many amazing miracles among the people. All the believers were meeting together regularly in the temple courtyard at the place called Solomon's Porch.

¹³All of the other people who had not yet believed in Jesus were afraid to associate with the believers, because they knew that if they did anything evil, God would punish them, as well as revealing it to the believers. However, those people continued to greatly respect the believers.

¹⁴Many more men and women started believing in the Lord Jesus, and they joined the group of believers.

¹⁵The apostles were doing amazing miracles, so people were bringing those who were sick into the streets, and laying them on stretchers and mats, in order that when Peter came by he would touch them, or at least his shadow might fall upon some of them and heal them.
