King James Version
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?(Acts 5:3)
Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.(Acts 5:4)
And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.(Acts 5:5)
And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.(Acts 5:7)
And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.(Acts 5:8)
Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.(Acts 5:9)

Deliver us from evil and lead us not into temptation
In Acts 5, the story of Ananias and Sapphira shows the humanity and imperfections in Christian communities and the need to be watchful against the enemys attempts to harm. The reading emphasizes the power of God to deliver and protect his own, the importance of actions, thoughts, and words, and the new wave of persecution. Christians must ask God to deliver them from evil and temptation and put on the armor of God to protect themselves from the devils schemes. The grace of the Lord is with us, and we should give glory to his name in everything we do.


Dr. Roberto Miranda
Touched by an angel of God
The story of Herod in Acts 12 highlights the danger of pride in leadership and the importance of giving glory to God. It also shows the power of angelic intervention and the importance of prayer in the church.
