The community is portrayed as united and sharing resources, with landowners selling property and bringing proceeds to the apostles for those in need. The account highlights Barnabas as an encourager and contrasts him with Ananias and Sapphira, who sell land yet retain part of the money, presenting it as the full amount, while Peter questions the deception before the Holy Spirit.","154 Ananias and Sapphira  \nActs 4:18-5:11  \nEnglish Spiritual  \n154 Ananias and Sapphira  \nEnglish  \n© 2020 Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc.  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

Nevertheless, the believers, with great courage, continued to tell others about Jesus.  \nAll the believers were united as one in their heart and mind! They shared everything. Noone among them had to live without food, clothing, or a place to sleep.  \nFrom time to time, those who owned land or houses would sell them and bring the money to the apostles. The apostles would give this money to any believers who needed it.  \nOne of the believers was a Jew from Cyprus whom the apostles knew as Barnabas, which meant ‘the son of encouragement’. Barnabas was one of those who sold some of his land and brought the money to the apostles.  \nA man named Ananias also sold some land. But he kept part of the money for himself and brought the remainder of the money to the apostles. He deceived them into thinking it was the full amount, and his wife Sapphira knew about it.  \nPeter said to Ananias,“How did Satan get you to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep for yourself some of the money you received for selling that land?”","cbCaiarVrR3fWT8r","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiarVrR3fWT8r","pdf",2509389,18,"English","en",105,"# Acts 4:18-5:11\n## Courageous witness despite warnings\n## Shared life and support through giving\n## Barnabas as an encourager\n## Ananias and Sapphira’s deception","[{\"question\":\"What warning did the Jewish leaders give to Peter and John?\",\"answer\":\"The leaders warned Peter and John not to teach in the name of Jesus.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the believers support one another in the early community?\",\"answer\":\"Believers shared everything, and land or house owners sold property, bringing the money to the apostles to meet others’ needs.\"},{\"question\":\"How were Barnabas and Ananias different in their giving?\",\"answer\":\"Barnabas sold some of his land and brought the money to the apostles, while Ananias sold land but kept part of the money for himself and presented it as the full amount.\"}]",1784129802,28,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":26},"ananias-and-sapphira","",{"@graph":34,"@context":84},[35,52,67],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/ananias-and-sapphira/80612/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-23","2026-07-15",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":11},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What warning did the Jewish leaders give to Peter and John?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"The leaders warned Peter and John not to teach in the name of Jesus.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"How did the believers support one another in the early community?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Believers shared everything, and land or house owners sold property, bringing the money to the apostles to meet others’ needs.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"How were Barnabas and Ananias different in their giving?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"Barnabas sold some of his land and brought the money to the apostles, while Ananias sold land but kept part of the money for himself and presented it as the full amount.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
