Lying to God
Acts 5:3-10
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has
so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for
yourself some of the money you received for the land?
4 Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it
was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such
a thing? You have not lied to men but to God.”
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great
fear seized all who heard what had happened.
6 Then the young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and
carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what
had happened.
8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias
got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”
9 Peter said to her, “How could you agree to test the Spirit
of the Lord? Look! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door,
and they will carry you out also.”
10 At that moment 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.
