Acts 22

25 But when they stretched him out with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge aa man who is a Roman and uncondemned?"

26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and told him, saying, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman."

27 The commander came and said to him, "Tell me, are you a Roman?" And he said, "Yes."

28 The commander answered, "I acquired this citizenship with a large sum of money." And Paul said, "But I was actually born a citizen."

29 Therefore those who were about to aexamine him immediately let go of him; and the commander also bwas afraid when he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had cput him in chains.
