هدیه

Ananias stands before the apostles holding out a tied money bag, presenting a gift to the early church while an open treasure chest rests near the table. Peter and other church leaders receive him with grave attention, emphasizing the seriousness of stewardship, honesty, and worship in the first Christian community. The scene reflects the account in Acts 5, where Ananias and Sapphira sell property but secretly keep back part of the proceeds while presenting the remainder as the whole gift. The issue is not the amount withheld, but the falsehood before God. This artwork highlights the biblical warning that generosity cannot be separated from truth, and that offerings given to the Lord must be marked by integrity of heart.
