                                    28 At sumagot ang pangulong kapitan, Binili ko ng totoong mahal ang pagkamamamayang ito. At sinabi ni Pablo, Nguni't ako'y katutubong taga Roma.                                

                                    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 Pagkaraka nga'y nagsilayo sa kaniya ang mga sa kaniya sana'y susulit: at ang pangulong kapitan din naman ay natakot nang maalamang siya'y taga Roma, at dahil sa pagkagapos niya sa kaniya.                                

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

                                    30 Datapuwa't nang kinabukasan, sa pagkaibig na matanto ang katunayan kung bakit siya'y isinakdal ng mga Judio, ay kaniyang pinawalan siya, at pinapagpulong ang mga pangulong saserdote at ang buong Sanedrin, at ipinapanaog si Pablo at iniharap sa kanila.                                

                                    30 But on the next day, wishing to know for certain why he had been accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and all the Council to assemble, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
