Acts 5: 1-10
(Darby Translation)
But a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
² and put aside for himself part of the price, [his] wife also being privy to it; and having brought a certain part, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
³ But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled thy heart that thou shouldest lie to the Holy Spirit, and put aside for thyself a part of the price of the estate?
⁴ While it remained did it not remain to *thee*? and sold, was [it not] in thine own power? Why is it that thou hast purposed this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
⁵ And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired. And great fear came upon all who heard [it].
⁶ And the young men, rising up, swathed him up for burial, and having carried him out, buried him.
⁷ And it came to pass about three hours afterwards, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
⁸ And Peter answered her, Tell me if ye gave the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.
⁹ And Peter said to her, Why [is it] that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of [the] Lord? Lo, the feet of those that have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
¹⁰ And she fell down immediately at his feet and expired. And when the young men came in they found her dead; and, having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.

summary:

A husband and wife sell a piece of property, secretly keep part of the price, and present the remainder as though it were the whole amount. Peter exposes their lie to the Holy Spirit; both fall dead in turn. Great fear grips the entire church and all who hear what happened.

Why Such Swift Judgment?
• Protects the newborn community from rot.
• Demonstrates God’s holiness in the era of grace, mirroring Old Testament precedents
• Establishes reverent fear

Practical Applications for Today
• Honesty before God remains non-negotiable; secret compromise endangers the whole community.
• God’s mission advances amid hostility; opposition can actually broadcast the message wider.
• Courageous speech flows from the Holy Spirit, not personality type.
• Civil obedience is proper until it conflicts with clear obedience to God.
• Joy is possible even after injustice; suffering can be a badge of honor when endured for Christ.

Acts 5 presents a dramatic unfolding of events in the early Christian community. It begins with a severe consequence for deception within the Church, transitions into the miraculous release of the apostles from prison, and ends with a testament to the apostles’ unwavering commitment to the Gospel, even in the face of persecution.
