1Ananias and Sapphira
Ananias and his wife Sapphira sold land; with her knowledge he kept back part of the price and laid the rest at the apostles’ feet. Rebuked by Peter for lying to God, he fell down and died; about three hours later Sapphira repeated the claim and also died. Great fear came on the whole assembly.
