Acts 5 (English Standard Version)

1 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,
2 and with his wife's knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles' feet.
3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?
4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”
5 When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last. And great fear came upon all who heard of it.
6 The young men rose and wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him.
7 After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

Acts 5 (Free Bible Version)

1 Now a man called Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property.
2 He kept back some of the money he received for himself, and brought the rest to present to the apostles. His wife knew what he was doing.
3 Then Peter asked him, “Ananias, why did you let Satan convince you to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back some of the money from the land you sold?
4 While you had the land, didn't it belong to you? And after you sold it, didn't you still have control over what you did with the money? Why did you decide to do this? You haven't lied to human beings, but to God!”
5 Hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. Everyone who heard what happened was terrified.
6 Some of the young men got up and wrapped him in a shroud. Then they carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife arrived, not knowing what had happened.
