25 And when they were extending him to the scourges, Paul said to the centurion standing by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned? 26 And the centurion hearing, having come to the chiliarch, announced to him, saying, What are you about to do? for this man is a Roman. 27 And the chiliarch, having come to him, said; Tell me, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes. 28 And the chiliarch responded, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I was indeed born (a Roman citizen). 29 Then immediately those about to scourge him departed from him: and the chiliarch also feared, knowing that he was a Roman, and that he had bound him.
