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. 30 And on the morrow, wishing to know the certainty that why he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him from bonds, and commanded the chief priests and the whole of their council to come, and having brought down Paul, he set him among them.
