25 But when they had tied him up with the straps, Paul asked the centurion who was standing there, |Is it legal for you to whip a Roman citizen who hasn't been condemned?| 26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and told him, |What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen!| 27 So the tribune went and asked Paul, |Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?| |Yes,| he said. 28 Then the tribune replied, |I paid a lot of money for this citizenship of mine.| Paul said, |But I was born a citizen.| 29 Immediately those who were about to examine him stepped back, and the tribune was afraid when he found out that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had tied him up.
