"But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price ... thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost..."
"... When his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. And Peter answered unto her Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much ... How is it that ye have agreed to tempt The Spirit of The Lord ... Then she fell down ... and yielded up the ghost ..." Acts 5:1-10
The people sold their lands and houses and brought the full price of the sell to the apostles. Acts 4:34-37 The problem was that Ananias and Sapphira sold their land, kept back part of the selling price for themselves, and then brought the remainder to the apostles and lied claiming that it was the full price of the sell.
They lied and they died. They lied in the place of worship, to the man of God, and to God Himself, and they died right there. The moral of the story is don't lie to God.
