27 And the tribune, approaching, said to him: “Tell me. Are you a Roman?” So he said, “Yes.”

28 And the tribune responded, “I obtained this citizenship at great cost.” And Paul said, “But I was born to it.”

29 Therefore, those who were going to torture him, immediately withdrew from him. The tribune was similarly afraid, after he realized that he was a Roman citizen, for he had bound him.
