The Death of Ananias, by Raphael, 1515, Raphael Cartoons. Ananias (/ ˌ æ n ə ˈ n aɪ. ə s /; Biblical Hebrew: חָנַנְיָהּ , romanized: Chānanyah) and his wife Sapphira (/ s ə ˈ f aɪ r ə /; סָפִירַה , Ṣafīrah) were, according to the biblical New Testament in Acts of the Apostles chapter 5, members of the early Christian church in Jerusalem.
The narrative underlines the authority of Peter, who could see through the deception by Ananias and Sapphira (verses 3–5, 8–9) and highlights the spiritual authority of the "church" (Greek: ekklesia, first used in Acts in verse 11) in form of 'signs' of God (inducing 'great fear' in verses 5 and 11, as well as healing miracles in the next section).
