New Testament: Acts 5:1-16
There was, however, a man named Ananias, who, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property, 2and, with her connivance, kept back some of the proceeds. He brought only a part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3“Ananias,” Peter exclaimed, “how is it that Satan has so taken possession of your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit, and kept back a part of the money paid for the land? 4While it was unsold, was not it your own? And after it was sold, was not the money at your own disposal? How did you come to think of such a thing? You have lied, not to people, but to God!”
5As Ananias heard these words, he fell down and expired; and everyone who heard of it was appalled. 6The young men got up, and, winding the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it.
7After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8“Is it true,” Peter asked, addressing her, “that you sold your land for such a sum?”
“Yes,” she answered, “we did.” 9Then Peter said, “How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The footsteps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too.”
10Instantly Sapphira fell down at Peter’s feet and expired. On coming in, the young men found her dead; so they carried her out and buried her by her husband’s side. 11The whole church and all who heard of these events were appalled.
12Many signs and wonders continued to occur among the people, through the instrumentality of the apostles, whose custom it was to meet all together in the Colonnade of Solomon; 13but of the rest no one ventured to join them. On the other hand, the people were full of their praise, 14and still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number. 15The consequence was that people would bring out their sick even into the streets, and lay them on mattresses and mats, in the hope that, as Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on someone of them. 16Besides this, the inhabitants of the towns around Jerusalem flocked into the city, bringing with them their sick and those who were troubled by foul spirits; and they were cured everyone.

Hymn for the Day: I am not skilled to understand
Author: Dora Greenwell (1873)
1 I am not skilled to understand
what God has willed, what God has planned;
I only know that at his right hand
is One who is my Savior!
2 I take him at his word indeed:
“Christ died for sinners,” this I read;
for in my heart I find a need
of him to be my Savior!
3 That he should leave his place on high
and come for sinful man to die,
you count it strange? So once did I,
before I knew my Savior!
4 And oh, that he fulfilled may see
the travail of his soul in me,
and with his work contented be,
as I with my dear Savior!
5 Yes, living, dying, let me bring
my strength, my solace from this spring;
that he who lives to be my King
once died to be my Savior.
