1. But there was a man named Ananias, who with his wife Sapphira sold some property that belonged to them.
2. But with his wife's agreement he kept part of the money for himself and handed the rest over to the apostles.
3. Peter said to him, “Ananias, why did you let Satan take control of you and make you lie to the Holy Spirit by keeping part of the money you received for the property?
4. Before you sold the property, it belonged to you; and after you sold it, the money was yours. Why, then, did you decide to do such a thing? You have not lied to human beings — you have lied to God!”
