NASB | Acts 5:5 And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came over all who heard of it. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 5:5 And hearing these words, Ananias fell down suddenly and died; and great fear and awe gripped those who heard of it. |
Bible Question: Were Ananias and Sapphira believers?? If so, was this punishment from God to kill them (actually if they were believers it would be a reward because they would immediatley be in Heaven). If unbelievers I guess God was making an example of them..... |
Bible Answer: Hello rj, I think many take it for granted that Annanias and Sapphira were believers, probably from Acts 4:32 where it says, "Now the multitude of those who believed...". However, the text in Acts doesn't specifically say that they were. I hope it helps, BradK |
