Acts 22:24-29 - Paul Reveals His Roman Citizenship
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.
