25 And as he held him before with thongs, Paul said to the centurion standing by, Is it lawful to scourge a man a Roman, and uncondemned? 26 And the centurion having heard, having come near announced to the captain of a thousand, See what thou art about to do: for this man is a Roman. 27 And the captain of a thousand having come near, said to him, Tell me if thou art a Roman. And he said, Yes. 28 And the captain of a thousand answered, I obtained this citizenship for much capital. And Paul said, And I have been born. 29 Then quickly they about to examine him withdrew from him: and the captain of a thousand was afraid, knowing that he is a Roman, and because he had bound him.
