Commentary on Acts 5:3
Peter's penetrating question reveals that Ananias' sin originated in satanic influence ('why hath Satan filled thine heart'), yet holds him accountable for yielding to it. The specific sin of lying 'to the Holy Spirit' identifies the Spirit's deity—lying to Him equals lying to God (v. 4). This establishes the Spirit's personhood and divine nature.
