25And when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

26And when the centurion heard it, he went to the chief captain and told him, saying, What art thou about to do? for this man is a Roman.

27And the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea.

28And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I am [a Roman] born.
