Ananias and Sapphira Die

5 But a man named Ananias and his wife Sapphira sold ·some land [a piece of property]. ² He ·kept back [pilfered; skimmed off] part of the ·money [proceeds; price] for himself; his wife knew about this and agreed to it. But he brought the rest of the money and ·gave it to [^Llaid it at the feet of] the apostles. ³ Peter said, “Ananias, why did you let Satan ·rule your thoughts [^Lfill your heart] to lie to the Holy Spirit and to ·keep [pilfer; skim off] for yourself part of the ·money [proceeds] you received for the land?
