"I, Peter, had one of the believers come to see me this morning... His name was Ananias.... He had come to present me with a financial gift... However, the Holy Spirit had shown me that he had not been honest about the amount.... He had told me he was giving me all that he had received for the sale of the land... But the Holy Spirit had let me know he had kept a part of the money for himself... He was free to do so... But he should not lie about... Sadly he had done so... Consequently, he had been judged by God.... And he had died.... A few hours later his wife Sapphira came to see me... I asked her if the money her husband had brought to me that morning had been the amount they had received for the land... I had hoped she would have spoken the truth.... Sadly she did not... She too lied.".... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that Ananias' wife Sapphira came to see Peter....

                                                           PART V -IV

Ananias; wife Saphira went to see the Apostles a few hours after her husband's visit to them as you can read in Acts 5:7-8

About three hours later, his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?""Yes," she said, "that is the price."

Peter, knowing that Sapphira's husband had lied about the amount of money he had brought to them, asked Sapphira if the money he had received from her husband earlier that day, was the amount they had received for the sale of the land. Sadly she continued in the deception, thereby proving that she was an equal partner with her husband in this scheme of theirs.
