Acts 22:25-29
25 But when they stretched him out (a)with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, “Is it (b)lawful for you to scourge (A)a man who is a Roman and uncondemned?”
26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the (c)commander and told him, saying, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman.”
27 The (d)commander came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” And he said, “Yes.”
28 The (e)commander answered, “I acquired this citizenship with a large sum of money.” And Paul said, “But I was actually born a citizen.”
29 Therefore those who were about to (B)examine him immediately (f)let go of him; and the (g)commander also (C)was afraid when he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had (h)(D)put him in chains.
