Commentary on Acts 5:8
Peter's direct question - 'Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much' - gave Sapphira clear opportunity to confess truth. The interrogative structure allowed yes/no response, removing ambiguity. Her answer 'Yea, for so much' repeated the lie, confirming conspiracy. The Greek 'nai' (yea) gave emphatic affirmation to known falsehood. Peter's question demonstrates pastoral confrontation's proper method: clear, specific, allowing confession. Her choice to maintain deception sealed judgment.
