Acts 5:4
Compare all
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.  
7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

Acts 5:4

Whiles it remained (menon). Present active participle of mend, unsold, Peter means.

After it was sold (praqen). First aorist passive of pipraskw, to sell.

How is that thou hast conceived (Ti oti eqou). Quid est quod. See Luke 2:49. See also Acts 5:9. Second aorist middle indicative second person singular of tiqhmi. The devil filled his heart (verse Acts 5:3), but all the same Ananias did it too and is wholly responsible.
