Acts 5:1-11


Ananias and Sapphira

But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,
2 and akept back some of the price for himself, with his wife’s 1full knowledge. And bringing a portion of it, he blaid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has aSatan filled your heart to lie bto the Holy Spirit and to ckeep back some of the price of the land? 4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not 1under your authority? Why is it that you laid this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but ato God.” 5 And as he heard these words, Ananias afell down and breathed his last; and bgreat fear came over all who heard. 6 And the young men rose up and awrapped him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him.
7 Now there was an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 And Peter responded to her, “Tell me whether you were paid athis much for the land?” And she said, “Yes, that much.” 9 Then Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed together to aput bthe Spirit of the 1Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well.” 10 And immediately she afell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 And agreat fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard these things.

Acts 13:11

11 Now, behold, athe hand of the 1Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time.” And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand.

1 Timothy 1:20
