(32)And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and of one soul; and not one said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things common. (33)And with great power the apostles gave the testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace was upon them all. (34)For there was no one among them that lacked; for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things sold, (35)and laid them at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to each one, according as he had need. (36)And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is interpreted, Son of consolation), a Levite, born in Cyprus, (37)having land sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles. V. BUT a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, (2)and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the feet of the apostles. (3)But Peter said: Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land? (4)While it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why didst thou conceive this thing in thy heart? Thou didst not lie to men, but to God. (5)And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and expired; and great fear came on all that heard these things. (6)And the young men arose, wrapt him up, and carried him out[5:6], and buried him. (7)And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. (8)And Peter answered her: Tell me, whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said: Yes, for so much. (9)And Peter said to her: Why is it that ye agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. (10)And immediately she fell at his feet, and expired; and coming in, the young men found her dead, and carried her forth, and buried her by her husband. (11)And great fear came upon all the church, and upon all that heard these things. (12)And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. (13)But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them; but the people honored them; (14)(and still more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women); (15)so that along the streets they brought forth the sick, and laid them on beds and pallets, that, as Peter was passing, the shadow at least might overshadow some one of them. (16)And the multitude also of the cities around came together to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons, and those who were vexed by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.
