Atos 5
Erasmus of Rotterdam
Atos 5:1
Ananais corresponded all to little to his name, because he himself responded all to little to the grace of God. He had a wife Sapphira, a woman like her husband.
Atos 5:2
His intent was to divide the money and with one portion to purchase praise and the impression of piety, but to save the other portion for himself in case some need should arise.
Atos 5:3
so that you would lie to the Holy Spirit: Now if he believed that God can be deceived, he would think of Him irreverently, but if he believe that nothing is concealed from Him, either he despised His justice or he suppose that He looks with favor on deceit.
