Acts 5:3 in Context — Acts 5

1 Mais un homme nommé Ananias, avec Saphira sa femme, vendit une propriété,

2 et retint une partie du prix, sa femme le sachant; puis il apporta le reste, et le déposa aux pieds des apôtres.

3 Pierre lui dit: Ananias, pourquoi Satan a-t-il rempli ton cœur, au point que tu mentes au Saint-Esprit, et que tu aies retenu une partie du prix du champ?

4 S’il n’eût pas été vendu, ne te restait-il pas? Et, après qu’il a été vendu, le prix n’était-il pas à ta disposition? Comment as-tu pu mettre en ton cœur un pareil dessein? Ce n’est pas à des hommes que tu as menti, mais à Dieu.

5 Ananias, entendant ces paroles, tomba, et expira. Une grande crainte saisit tous les auditeurs.
