Acts 22:25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? MC VC

Acts 22:26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. MC VC

Acts 22:27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. MC VC

Acts 22:28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. MC VC

Acts 22:29 Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. MC VC
