'Citizens' in the Bible

And he went [and] hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to tend pigs.

But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to be king over us!'

But Paul said to them, "They beat us in public without due process--men who are Roman citizens--[and] threw [us] into prison, and now they are wanting to release us secretly? Certainly not! Rather let them come themselves [and] bring us out!"

So the police officers reported these words to the chief magistrates, and they were afraid [when they] heard that they were Roman citizens.
