Acts 5:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And [a]kept away part of the price, his wife also being of counsel, and brought a certain part, and laid it down at the Apostles’ feet.
3 Then said Peter, Ananias, why hath Satan [b]filled thine heart, that thou shouldest [c]lie unto the holy Ghost, and keep away part of the price of this possession?
4 While it remained, appertained it not unto thee? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? how is it that thou hast [d]conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
