Definitions for Acts 5:8
Barnes's Acts 5:8 Bible Commentary
For so much - That is, for the sum which Ananias had presented. This was true, that this sum had been received for it; but it was also true that a larger sum had been received. It is as really a falsehood to deceive in this manner, as it would have been to have affirmed that they received much "more" than they actually did for the land. Falsehood consists in making an erroneous representation of a thing in any way for the purpose of deceiving. And "this" species is much more common than an open and bold lie, affirming what is in no sense true.
Wesley's Acts 5:8 Bible Commentary
5:8 If ye sold the land for so much - Naming the sum.
