Commentary on Acts 5:10
Sapphira's death - 'Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost' - mirrored her husband's, confirming divine judgment pattern. The Greek 'parachrēma' (straightway) emphasizes immediacy. The phrase 'at his feet' - where she should have humbly confessed - she instead died in deception. The young men finding her dead 'carried her forth, and buried her by her husband' suggests joint grave, eternally linking them in judgment as they were linked in sin. This parallel judgment emphasized that both bore equal guilt.
