About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.
Acts 5:7 · BSB
The verses around it, from Acts 5.
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.
8 “Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”
9 “How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
10 At that instant she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.
