What book and verse in the Bible?

Question

What book and verse of the bible does peter kill a couple who didn't get rid of their property when they were joining the commune?

Best answer will be named within the next 3 hours.

Answer 1

Peter didn't kill them, the Holy Spirit did. You can find this in Acts 5:1-10.

Answer 2

That's Acts 5:1-11 When Ananias, with Sapphira pretended to sell their possession at a price and gave it to the disciples. This way the people would think they gave them everything. But really they kept back money for themselves. God showed the people they were not lying to mere men whom they thought Peter was, but to God. Sapphira died a few hours later after repeating what her husband had said.

Answer 3

Peter didn't kill anyone. The couple pretended to offer all the proceeds of the sale of their land to God, to share with the people...they deceitfully held back some for themselves and lied to the Apostles of the Lord, as if God wouldn't know their hearts. These people didn't really have faith in the Lord. They were pretenders...wolves in sheep's clothing so to speak.

For the context:

Acts 4:32

32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. 34 There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need. 36 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means Son of Encouragement), 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet.

Acts 5:1-11

1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet. 3 Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God." 5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then the young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. 7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?" "Yes," she said, "that is the price." 9 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." 10 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. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.

Answer 4

Peter had nothing to do with the killing!
The judgement was by God himself:

(Acts 5:1-11) “. . .However, a certain man, An·a·ni′as by name, together with Sap·phi′ra his wife, sold a possession 2 and secretly held back some of the price, his wife also knowing about it, and he brought just a part and deposited it at the feet of the apostles.
--3 But Peter said: “An·a·ni′as, why has Satan emboldened you to play false to the holy spirit and to hold back secretly some of the price of the field? 4 As long as it remained with you did it not remain yours, and after it was sold did it not continue in your control? Why was it that you purposed such a deed as this in your heart? You have played false, not to men, but to God.” 5 On hearing these words An·a·ni′as fell down and expired. And great fear came over all those hearing of it. 6 But the younger men rose, wrapped him in cloths, and carried him out and buried him.
--7 Now after an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter said to her: “Tell me, did YOU [two] sell the field for so much?” She said: “Yes, for so much.” 9 So Peter said to her: “Why was it agreed upon between YOU [two] to make a test of the spirit of Jehovah? Look! The feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10 Instantly she fell down at his feet and expired. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her alongside her husband."

Answer 5

It happened to Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-10 (see also 1 Corinthians 11:30). The “sin unto death” is deliberate, willful, continuous, unrepentant sin. God, in His grace, allows His children to sin without immediately punishing them. However, there comes a point when God will no longer allow a believer to continue in unrepentant sin. When this point is reached, God sometimes decides to punish a Christian, even to the point of taking his or her life.

Answer 6

Not there because Peter does not kill anyone. the holy spirit does, tho. It's in Acts.

Answer 7

No where! God killed them for lying to the Holy Ghost. Book of Acts.

Answer 8

If by property you are referring to their land, they did get rid of it, but they kept back a portion of the sale of it and lied about how much they had received.

Answer 9

Acts Cptr. 5. But Peter doesn't kill them, God does.

And it wasn't for not giving their property or their money: ( he said to them that it was theirs to do with as they pleased) it was because they lied about it.

Act 5:1 ¶ But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,


Act 5:2 And kept back [part] of the price, his wife also being privy [to it], and brought a certain part, and laid [it] at the apostles' feet.


Act 5:3 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?


Act 5:4 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.


Act 5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.


Act 5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried [him] out, and buried [him].


Act 5:7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.


Act 5:8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.


Act 5:9 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.


Act 5:10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying [her] forth, buried [her] by her husband.


Act 5:11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

Answer 10

Actually the Apostles did not kill the couple.
