Acts:5:1: But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Acts:5:3: But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Acts:5:5: And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
Acts:5:7-11: And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8: And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9: Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10: Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
11: And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
Yes, God killed Ananias and Sapphira as a judgment. In lying to Peter and the apostles, they were lying to God. They were never forced to sell their lands or possessions, but they chose to do it. In their covetousness, they sinned against God. Their sin was especially sinful because daily the church was receiving evidences of God's love and care, and in the face of this they tried to deceive God himself.This judgment also guarded the young church,which daily was adding to its numbers new believers, from those who would join the church,claiming to love God,but instead loved the wages of evil( in other words hypocrites).

What man and his wife told a lie about the sale of their property and died from their gult when confronted?
Saphira and Ananias
In the book of Acts is Ananias of Damascus the same as Ananias and Sapphira and Ananias the high priest?
I would say that they are indeed different people. Ananias and Sapphira are mentioned in Acts chapter 5. The other Ananias is mentioned in Acts chapter 9 which I would think is at a later time.Although, When the Lord told Ananias to go to Saul, Ananias questioned the Lord (Acts 9:11-15) which is similarto the behavior exhibited by the Ananias who was married to Saphira and lied "...not unto men, but unto God." Acts 5:4
