Acts5:8
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said , Yea, for so much.
An ordinary Hebraism, by which one that speaketh, first is said to answer, if it be tending towards any discourse especially.
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 had agreed with her husband what to say; and one sin draws on another, till it ends in perdition.
