Acts 22:25-29
New American Standard Bible 1995
25 But when they stretched him out [a]with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, “Is it [b]lawful for you to scourge (A)a man who is a Roman and uncondemned?” 26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the [c]commander and told him, saying, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman.” 27 The [d]commander came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” And he said, “Yes.” 28 The [e]commander answered, “I acquired this citizenship with a large sum of money.” And Paul said, “But I was actually born a citizen.” 29 Therefore those who were about to (B)examine him immediately [f]let go of him; and the [g]commander also (C)was afraid when he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had [h](D)put him in chains.
