Acts 22:22-30 - Paul Questioned By The Military Tribune
22 And they hearkened unto him as far as this word, and lifted up their voice, saying - Away from the earth, with such a man as this, for it is not fit that he should live.
23 Now, as they were both making an outcry and tearing their mantles, - dust, also were throwing into the air, 24 the captain ordered him to be brought into the castle, saying, that, with scourging, he should be put to the test, - that he might find out, for what cause they were, thus, clamouring against him. 25 But, when they had stretched him out with straps, Paul said unto the by-standing centurion - A Roman, and uncondemned, is it allowed you to be scourging?
26 And, when the centurion heard that , he went unto the captain, and reported, saying - What art thou going to do? For, this man, is, a Roman?
27 And the captain, coming up, said to him - Tell me! Art, thou, a, Roman? And, he, said - Yea!
28 And the captain answered - I, for a large sum, this citizenship acquired! And, Paul, said - But, I, am even, free- born!
29 Straightway, therefore, they who were about to put him to the test, withdrew from him; and, even the captain, was struck with fear, when he found out he was, a Roman, and because, him, he had bound.
30 But, on the morrow, being minded to get to know the certainty as to why he was being accused by the Jews, he released him, and ordered the High-priests and all the High-council to come together; and, bringing down Paul, set him before them.
