“Ananias, why did the Accuser so fill your heart that you lie to the Spirit, the Holy One, and keep some of the proceeds from the land for yourself? 4So long as it remained unsold, did it not belong to you? And once sold was it not in your power? Why was such a deed put into your heart? You did not lie to men, but to God.” 5And, on hearing these words, Ananias fell down and yielded up his soul; and great fear came over all who heard of it. 6And the young men rose and shrouded him and, carrying him out, buried him.
