Bible verse
Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?
Acts 5:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from Acts 5.
1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
2 With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds for himself, but brought a portion and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?
4 Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”
5 On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.
6 Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.
