Acts 5:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 5:3

Lying to the Holy Spirit

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession.

2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

3 ^aBut Peter said, “Ananias, why has ^bSatan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?

4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”

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.
