Acts 5:8-10
New English Translation
8 Peter said to her, “Tell me, were the two of you[a] paid this amount[b] for the land?” Sapphira[c] said, “Yes, that much.” 9 Peter then told her, “Why have you agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!” 10 At once[d] she collapsed at his feet and died. So when the young men came in, they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

- Acts 5:8 tn The words “the two of” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied to indicate that the verb (ἀπέδοσθε, apedosthe) is plural and thus refers to both Ananias and Sapphira.
- Acts 5:8 tn Grk “so much,” “as much as this.”
- Acts 5:8 tn Grk “She”; the referent (Sapphira) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- Acts 5:10 tn Grk “And at once.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.
