Acts 5:2

And kept back part of the price ,.... At which the possession was sold; he reserved it for his own use, after he had given out that he sold it for the service of the church:

his wife also being privy to it ; to this private reserve:

and brought a certain part ; whether the greater part, or an equal part, half of it, or a lesser part; some little part of it, so the phrase seems to signify, is not certain:

and laid it at the apostles' feet ; as the rest did, thereby to make a show of charity, and cover the deceit.
