Acts 5:9
Compare all
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.

12 And athrough the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. bAnd they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.  
13 Yet anone of the rest dared join them, bbut the people esteemed them highly.

Acts 5:9

Ye have agreed together (sunefwnhqh umin). First aorist passive indicative of sumfwnew (to voice together, symphony), impersonal with dative; It was agreed together by you (or for you). "Your souls were allured together respecting this deceit" (Vincent).

To tempt the Spirit of the Lord (peirasai to pneuma kuriou). Like "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." It was close to the unpardonable sin which was attributing the manifest work of the Holy Spirit to Beelzebub.

The feet (oi podev). Graphic picture by Peter as he heard the steps of the young men at the door.
