acts 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,


      Ac 5:1-11. ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA.

      "The first trace of a shade upon the bright form of the young Church. Probably among the new Christians a kind of holy rivalry had sprung up, every one eager to place his means at the disposal of the apostles" [OLSHAUSEN]. Thus might the new-born zeal of some outrun their abiding principle, while others might be tempted to seek credit for a liberality which was not in their character.
