"I, Peter, looked at Ananias' wife Sapphira.... She stood in front of me.... I had asked her if the money I had earlier that day received from her husband Ananias was the exact amount they had received for the sale of the land.... I waited to hear from her... I had hoped she would not have gone along with her husband's scheme to lie.... Sadly that did not happen... For she too lied to me....In fact, like her husband, she too lied to the Holy Spirit.... Consequently, she too was judged with the same judgement as her husband...She died.... The young men who had buried her husband came in to bury her.... What a sad day for me and for the Church."... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn what happened to Sapphira after Peter exposed her deception to the Holy Spirit....

Sapphira, like her husband Ananias, had not considered that the Holy Spirit had seen and heard everything she and her husband had conspired to do and He revealed to Peter her part in the deception. After hearing Peter's words she too fell down and died as you can read in Acts 5:9-10

Peter said to her, "How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also." At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

 Like Ananias, Sapphira was shocked to hear from Peter's mouth that she had in fact tested the Spirit of the Lord. And like him, her life was cut short as a consequence.
