Context — The Story of Ananias and Sapphiragenerated
Acts 5:1 introduces Ananias and Sapphira, a couple who sold a piece of property. Their story unfolds in the context of the early church, where believers shared their possessions. This act of selling property was part of a larger communal effort, but their decision to withhold part of the proceeds led to serious repercussions, as seen in the following verses.

The Key Word — Ἀνὴρ, anērgenerated
The word ἀνήρ (anēr) is a masculine noun meaning 'man.' It refers specifically to an adult male, often used in contrast to women or children. In this context, it identifies Ananias as a key figure in the early church.
In the New Testament, ἀνήρ can also imply a husband, as seen in other passages. The parsing indicates it is in the nominative case, singular, and masculine, emphasizing Ananias' role as an individual in this narrative.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as: 'Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.' This aligns with the KJV and ASV, which use 'a certain man named Ananias.'
However, the translations differ slightly in wording. The YLT uses 'a certain man, Ananias by name,' while the BBE states 'got money for his property.' Each version maintains the essential meaning but varies in phrasing.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is introduced by the finite verb ἐπώλησεν, sold, which governs the subject Ἀνὴρ (Ananias) and the object κτῆμα (a property). The structure indicates a straightforward action.
The clause is supported by additional phrases that describe the subject and context, including the conjunction δέ (now) that transitions the narrative.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἀνήρ corresponds to the Hebrew word אִישׁ (ish) in the Septuagint, which also means 'man.' This connection highlights the continuity of meaning across the Testaments.
κτῆμα is related to the Hebrew מָכַר (makar), meaning 'to sell.' This shows the cultural and linguistic ties in the context of property transactions.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Acts 5:1 tells us about a man named Ananias and his wife Sapphira, who sold a piece of property. They were part of the early church community, where sharing possessions was common, but they kept some of the money for themselves, leading to serious consequences.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Their sale was part of the communal living practice in the early church, but their deception in withholding part of the proceeds led to severe consequences.
The text suggests that Ananias wanted to appear generous while actually keeping some of the money for himself, which reflected a lack of integrity.
This story serves as a warning about the dangers of dishonesty and the seriousness of sin within the community of believers.
It highlights the importance of honesty and transparency within the community, contrasting the ideal of sharing with the reality of deceit.

She might be so on the outside, as those apples of Sodom, the Egyptian temples, or Jewish sepulchres; but her heart was rotten, and not right with God.

(1, 2) A certain man named Ananias.—The name meets us again as belonging to the high priest in Acts 23:2, and was the Greek form of the Hebrew Hananiah. It had the same significance as John, or Johanan, “The Lord be gracious.” “Sapphira,” is either connected with the “sapphire,” as a precious stone, or from a Hebrew word signifying “beautiful” or “pleasant.” The whole history must be read in connection with the act of Barnabas. He, it seemed, had gained praise and power by his self-sacrifice. Ananias thought that he could get at the same result more cheaply. The act shows a strange mingling of discordant elements. Zeal and faith of some sort had led him to profess himself a believer.…

ἀνήρ (anēr) means 'man' in various contexts, distinguishing adult males from women and children. It can refer to a husband or a male person in general, and is often used in conjunction with other nouns or adjectives. The New Testament employs it similarly, as seen in verses like Matthew 1:16 and 1 Corinthians 13:11. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

Man
(1.) Heb. ‘Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning “to be red,” and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10).
(2.) Heb. ‘ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman (1 Sam. 17:33;
Four Hebrew terms are rendered "man" in the Authorized Version: Adam, the name of the man created in the image of God. It appears to be derived from adam , "he or it was red or ruddy," like Edom. This was the generic term for the human race. Ish , "man," as distinguished from woman, husband. Geber , "a man," from gabar , "to be strong," generally with reference to his strength. Methim , "men," always masculine. Perhaps it may be derived from the root muth , "he died."

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

The Greek word Ἁνανίας (transliterated as Ananias) refers to a personal name of Hebrew origin, meaning 'Yahweh has been gracious.' It identifies three individuals in the New Testament: a Christian from Jerusalem, a Christian from Damascus, and a High Priest.

Ananias
A common Jewish name, the same as Hananiah. (1.) One of the members of the church at Jerusalem, who conspired with his wife Sapphira to deceive the brethren, and who fell down and immediately expired after he had uttered the falsehood (Acts 5:5). By common agreement the members of the early Christian community devoted their property to the work of furthering the gospel and of assisting the poor and needy. The proceeds of the possessions they sold were placed at the disposal of the apostles (Acts 4:36, 37). Ananias might have kept his property had he so chosen; but he professed agreement with the brethren in the common purpose, and had of his own accord devoted it all, as he said, to these sacred ends. Yet he retained a part of it for his own ends, and thus lied in declaring…
(whom Jehovah has graciously given) A high priest in (Acts 23:2-5; 24:1) He was the son of Nebedaeus. He was nominated to the office by Herod king of Chalcis in A.D. 48; was deposed shortly before Felix left the province and assassinated by the Sicarii at the beginning of the last Jewish war. A disciple at Jerusalem, husband of Sapphira. (Acts 5:1-11) having sold his goods for the benefit of the church he kept back a part of the price, bringing to the apostles the remainder as if it was the whole, his wife being privy to the scheme. St. Peter denounced the fraud, and Ananias fell down and expired. A Jewish disciple at Damascus, (Acts 9:10-17) of high repute, (Acts 22:12) who…
1. A Jew of Jerusalem, the husband of Sapphira, who attempted to join the Christians, and pretended to give them the entire price of his lands, but died instantly on being convicted of falsehood by Peter, Ac 5:1-10.
2. A Christian of Damascus, who restored the sight of Paul, after his vision of the Savior, Ac 9:10-17; 22:12.
3. A high priest of the Jews, the son of Nebedaeus. He was sent as a prisoner to Rome by Quadratus, the governor of Syria, and Jonathon was appointed in his place; but being discharged by the emperor Claudius, he returned to Palestine, and Jonathon being murdered through the treachery of Felix, Ananias appears to have performed the functions of the high priest as a substitute, until Ishmael was appointed by Agrippa. It was he before whom with the Sanhedrin Paul…

ὄνομα (onoma) means 'name' and can refer to the title or reputation of a person or thing. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as indicating authority or character (e.g., Mt 10:41) and is often contrasted with the reality behind the name (e.g., Rev 3:1). The term can also signify a mere name or pretext, as seen in Mk 9:41.

The Greek word σύν (sun) is a preposition meaning 'with' or 'together with,' indicating association, companionship, or inclusion. It is used with the dative case and appears frequently in the New Testament, especially in the writings of Luke and Paul. Notably, it conveys a closer relationship than other similar prepositions. Examples include phrases like 'σὺν Χριστῷ' (with Christ) and 'σὺν ἐμοί' (with me).
σύν (old Att. ξύν),
prep. c. dat.,
expressing association, fellowship and inclusion. It gradually gave way to μετά, c. gen. (cf. LS, s.v.; Bl., § 41, 3), and is therefore comparatively infrequent in NT, being rare in Mt4, Mk6, Jo3, and elsewhere (exx. Ja 1:11, II Pe 1:18) only in Lk (Gosp. and Ac) and Paul. With, together with: of companionship and association, Lk 2:13, Jo 21:3, Ac 10:23, al.; εἶναι σύν τινι, Lk 7:12, Ac 4:13, Phl 1:23, al.; of partisanship, Ac 4:13; οἱ σύν τινι (ὄντες), of attendants, companions or colleagues, Read the full entry →
σύν [the older form ξύν is still found in some edd. in composition (as ξυμ-βαίνω, 1 Pet. iv. 12 Rec***; see L. and S. 5. v. init.; cf. 3, o,s)], a preposition; it is never used in the Apocalypse, rarely by Matthew [some four times (texts vary) ], Mark [some five times, or John (three times) ], (who prefer μετά), more frequently by Luke ΄, συν [(Gospel and Acts) about 79 times] and Paul [about 39 times ; on the comparative frequency of these prepp. in the classics, see L. and S.s. v. ad init.]. It takes the Dative after it, and denotes accompaniment and fellowship, whether of action, or of belief, or of condition and experience; (acc. to the grammarians [ef. Donaldson, New Crat.§181; Kriiger §68, 13,1; Kihner ii. p.438]; W. 391 (366), a fellowship far closer and more intimate than that expressed by perd, although in the N.

The Greek word Σάπφιρα (i.e., *Sapphira*) refers to a woman mentioned in Acts 5:1, the wife of Ananias. It is derived from an Aramaic term meaning 'beautiful.' The entries consistently identify Sapphira as a proper name without significant disagreement among lexicons.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word γυνή (i.e., *gunē*) means 'woman' and can refer to any female, including wives and unmarried women. It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, such as addressing women with respect or affection. The term also specifically denotes a wife and appears in passages like Matthew 1:20 and 14:3. Lexicons note that it can imply different nuances depending on the context.

This old noun retains from Homer down to MGr—where it has only changed its declension (ἡ yvvaika)—the two meanings of ‘‘woman”’ and ‘‘ wife”: it is superfluous to illustrate the one or the other, as we should get no light on the only questions that arise in NT, such as which word to use in rendering Mt 578. The meeting of two words characteristic of that passage does, however, make it worth while to quote Wiinsch 4 58° (iii/A.D.), where Domitiana prays that her lover may be wholly devoted to her, μηδεμίαν ἄλλην γυναῖκα μήτε παρθένον ἐπιθυμοῦντα.

The ordinance of marriage was sanctioned in Paradise (Gen. 2:24; Matt. 19:4-6). Monogamy was the original law under which man lived, but polygamy early commenced (Gen. 4:19), and continued to prevail all down through Jewish history. The law of Moses regulated but did not prohibit polygamy. A man might have a plurality of wives, but a wife could have only one husband. A wife’s legal rights (Ex. 21:10) and her duties (Prov. 31:10-31; 1 Tim. 5:14) are specified. She could be divorced in special cases (Deut.…

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

It is used by the bibl. writ. both of the O. T. and of the N.

πωλέω (pōleō) means to sell or barter, derived from a root suggesting trade. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in Luke 17:28 and Revelation 13:17, often referring to the act of selling goods or property. The lexicons agree on its primary meaning, with no significant disagreement noted.
πωλέω, -ῶ,
[in LXX chiefly for מכר;]
to exchange or barter.
πωλέω, -&; imp. ἐπώλουν; 1 aor. ἐπώλησα ; pres. pass. πωλοῦμαι; (πέλω, πέλομαι, to turn, turn about, [Curtius § 633 p. 470], fr. which [through the noun πωλή; Lod. in Bttm. Ausf. Spr. ii. 57 bot.] πωλοῦμαι, Lat. versor, foll. by εἰς with acc. of place, to frequent a place; ef. the Lat. venio and veneo); fr. Hdt. down; Sept. for 720; prop. to barter, i. 6. to sell: absol. (opp. to ἀγοράζει), Lk. xvii. 28; Rev. xiii. 17; of πωλοῦντες (opp. to of dyopd¢ovres, buyers), sellers, Mt. xxi. 12; xxv.9; Mk. xi. 15; Lk. xix. 45; with acc. of a thing, Mt. xiii. 44; xix. 21; xxi. 12; Mk. x. 21; xi. 15; Lk. [xii. 33]; xviii. 22; xxii. 36; Jn. ii. 14,16; Acts v.1; supply αὐτόν, Acts iv. 37; αὐτά, ib. 34; pass. 1 Co. x. 25; with a gen. of price added, Mt. x. 29; Lk. xii. 6.
πωλέω. From meaning originally ‘‘put up for sale’’ (sendzfo) πωλέω came to mean simply ‘‘sell” (endo). This later sense, which alone is found in the NT, can be fully illustrated from the papyri, e.g. PSI IV. 3567 (B.c. 253-2) οὐθεὶς οὖν ἐν τοῖς τόποις πωλεῖ πρὸς σῖτον, ἀλλὰ πρὸς ἀργύριον, P Ryl LL. 1138 (Δ.1.133) μόλις πάντα τὰ ἐμαυτοῦ πωλήσας ἐδυνήθην πληρῶσαι, “I was with difficulty able to complete this by selling all my property ” (cf. Mk τοῦ), P Oxy III. 49428 (a Will—A.p. 156) ἐξέστω 80 αὐτῆς πωλεῖν καὶ ὑποτίθεσθαι ἃ ἐὰν aipfrat, ‘‘she shall have the right to ell or mortgage on her own authority whatever she chooses, "ἢ 76. VI. 03219 (late ii/A.D.) τὰ χοιρίδια χωρὶς μοῦ μὴ πώλι, “do not sell the young pigs without me,” P Tebt IT. 4215 (iii/A.p.)

The Greek word κτῆμα (ktēma) means a possession or property, derived from the verb κτάομαι (ktaomai). It encompasses various forms of property, including fields and estates, and appears in the New Testament in passages like Matthew 19:22 and Acts 5:1. The lexicons consistently describe it as relating to ownership and wealth.
