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?

Study Note
Peter's question 'why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost?' makes the sin of Ananias and Sapphira's deception not merely a financial fraud but a direct offence against the person of the Spirit — underlining the Spirit's divine status within the early community's theology. Verse 4 confirms the equation: 'thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God,' identifying the Spirit with God himself in a move that supplied early trinitarian reflection with crucial evidence. The episode follows immediately after the voluntary sharing of Barnabas (4:36-37), creating a sharp contrast between generosity given in truth and generosity performed for reputation. The sudden deaths have been read as paradigmatic demonstrations that the early church's life is a holy-of-holies space in which duplicity carries mortal consequences (cf. 1 Corinthians 11:30).
