Acts 5:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² They agreed to hold back some of the money ⌞they had pledged⌟ and turned only part of it over to the apostles.

³ Peter asked, “Ananias, why did you let Satan fill you with the idea that you could deceive the Holy Spirit? You’ve held back some of the money you received for the land. ⁴ While you had the land, it was your own. After it was sold, you could have done as you pleased with the money. So how could you do a thing like this? You didn’t lie to people but to God!”
