Acts 5:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 5:7

5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, ^afell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things.

6 And the young men arose and ^awrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.

7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

8 And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together ^ato test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

10 ^aThen immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband.

11 ^aSo great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.
