Acts 5:8 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Peter answered; an ordinary Hebraism, by which one that speaketh first is said an answer, if it be tending towards my discourse especially. For so much; the certain price is not mentioned, as not being necessary to the intent of the Holy Ghost in this narrative; but be it more or less, it was the same which her husband had said the land was sold for. She said, Yea; she had agreed with her husband what to say; and one sin draws on another, till it ends in perdition.

Acts 5:8

8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
