“And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.”
Acts 5:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 5:2
The phrase 'kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it' describes deliberate, conspiratorial deception. The Greek 'enosphisato' (kept back) is used in Joshua 7:1 for Achan's theft, linking this sin to Israel's conquest crisis. This wasn't mere withholding but fraudulent representation. 'His wife also being privy' (Greek 'syneidyia,' conscious knowledge) makes this premeditated conspiracy, not impulsive lie. Bringing 'a certain part' while implying the whole exemplifies Jesus' warning about serving two masters.
