Acts 22:25-29 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman and uncondemned?"

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman and uncondemned?" ²⁶ When the centurion heard that, he went to the upper-captain, and told him saying, "What intendest thou to do? This man is a citizen of Rome." ²⁷ Then the upper-captain came to him, and said, "Tell me, art thou a Roman?" He said, "Yea." ²⁸ And the high captain answered, "With a great sum obtained I this freedom." And Paul said, "I was freeborn." ²⁹ Then straightway departed from him they which should have examined him. And the high captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman: because he had bound him.
