Acts 22:27-29 ▼

27 And the commander came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” And he said, “Yes.”

28 And the commander answered, “I acquired this citizenship with a large sum of money.” And Paul said, “But I have been born a citizen.”

29 Therefore those who were about to examine him immediately withdrew from him; and the commander also was afraid when he learned that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
