Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 5:6

And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and then carried him out and buried him.Sapphira was not notified; no mourning was mentioned; no delay was made; and, in such circumstances, apostolic authority must be assigned as their cause. The natural thing, upon the death of Ananias, would have been the seeking and informing of his wife; but no such amenity was permitted. The apostles accepted the occurrence as a divine judgment against sin, remembering no doubt that "severe examples had also... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 5:5

Acts 5:5. And Ananias hearing these words, &c.— This severity was not only righteous, considering that complication of vain glory and covetousness, of fraud and impiety, which the action contained; but was wise and gracious, both as it served to vindicate the honour of the blessed Spirit, so notoriously affronted by this attempt to impose on those, who had been so lately and eminently anointed by his extraordinary effusion; and farther, as it tended most effectually to deter any... read more

Acts 5:6. And the young men arose, &c.— They were persons of an inferior rank, who were usually employed in this office. They stripped, swathed him,— συνεστειλαν,— and afterwards carried him to his grave. The Jews now inter their dead within twenty-four hours at farthest from the time of their death, and generally much sooner. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Acts 5:5

5. Ananias . . . gave up the ghost . . . great fear came on all that heard these things—on those without the Christian circle; who, instead of disparaging the followers of the Lord Jesus, as they might otherwise have done on the discovery of such hypocrisy, were awed at the manifest presence of Divinity among them, and the mysterious power of throwing off such corrupt matter which rested upon the young Church. read more

6. the young men—some of the younger and more active members of the church, not as office-bearers, nor coming forward now for the first time, but who probably had already volunteered their services in making subordinate arrangements. In every thriving Christian community such volunteers may be expected, and will be found eminently useful. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 5:1-11

The hypocrisy of Ananias and Sapphira 5:1-11We might conclude from what precedes that the church was a sinless community at this time. Unfortunately this was not the case. There were sinning saints in it. This episode reveals that God was working dramatically in the church’s early days in judgment as well as in blessing. Luke did not idealize his portrait of the early church but painted an accurate picture, "warts and all.""The passage shows that God knows the hearts of believers. Peter is not... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 5:5

Peter identified Ananias’ sin, but God judged it (cf. Matthew 16:19). Luke did not record exactly how Ananias died even though he was a physician. His interest was solely in pointing out that he did die immediately because of his sin. The Greek word ekpsycho ("breathed his last") occurs in the New Testament here and only where God strikes someone in judgment (Acts 5:10; Acts 12:23; cf. Judges 4:21, LXX, where Sisera was the victim). Ananias’ sin resulted in premature physical death. It was a... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 5:6

Immediate burial was common in Palestine at this time, as the burial of Jesus illustrates. Evidently some of the younger and stronger believers disposed of Ananias’ corpse by preparing it for burial. [Note: Barrett, p. 269.] Many people were buried in caves or holes in the ground that had been previously prepared for this purpose, as we see in the burials of Lazarus and Jesus."Burial in such a climate necessarily followed quickly after death, and such legal formalities as medical certification... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:1-42

The Apostles Again Imprisoned1-16. The sin of Ananias and Sapphira was not keeping back part of the price, which they had a perfect right to do (Acts 5:4), but pretending that the money which they offered to the Apostles was the whole price of the possession sold, which was not the case. Their motive was vanity and ambition. They wished to have a greater reputation for liberality than they were entitled to.1. Ananias] i.e. ’Jehovah hath been gracious.’Sapphira] If the word is Greek it means... read more
