25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood by, Acts 16:37"Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?"
26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the commander, saying, "Take care what you do, for this man is a Roman."
27 Then the commander came and said to him, "Tell me, are you a Roman?"
He said, "Yes."
28 The commander answered, "With a large sum I obtained this citizenship."
And Paul said, "But I was born acitizen."
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? 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. 27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. 28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
25 As they stretched him out to flog him, Paul said to the centurion standing there, "Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been found guilty?"
26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and reported it. "What are you going to do?" he asked. "This man is a Roman citizen."
27 The commander went to Paul and asked, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?"
"Yes, I am," he answered.
28 Then the commander said, "I had to pay a lot of money for my citizenship."
"But I was born a citizen," Paul replied.
25 But when they had stretched him out for the whips,22:25 Or when they had tied him up with leather strips Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, "Is it lawful for you to flog ch. 16:37a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?" 26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and said to him, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen." 27 So the tribune came and said to him, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?" And he said, "Yes." 28 The tribune answered, "I bought this citizenship for a large sum." Paul said, "But I am a citizen by birth."
25 When they tied Paul down to lash him, Paul said to the officer22:25 Greek the centurion; also in 22:26. standing there, "Is it legal for you to whip a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been tried?"
26 When the officer heard this, he went to the commander and asked, "What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen!"
27 So the commander went over and asked Paul, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?"
"Yes, I certainly am," Paul replied.
28 "I am, too," the commander muttered, "and it cost me plenty!"
Paul answered, "But I am a citizen by birth!"
25 But when they stretched him out 22:25 Or for the whipwith straps, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, "Is it 22:25 Interrogation by torture was a procedure used with slaveslawful for you to flog a man who is a Roman and uncondemned?" 26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and told him, saying, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman." 27 The commander came and said to 22:27 Lit himPaul, "Tell me, are you a Roman?" And he said, "Yes." 28 The commander answered, "I acquired this citizenship for a large sum of money." And Paul said, "But I was actually born a citizen."
25 As they stretched him out for the lash, Paul said to the centurion standing by, "Is it legal for you to scourge a man who is a Roman citizen and is uncondemned? " 22:24–25 Ac 16:37; 21:34; 22:29
26 When the centurion heard this, he went and reported to the commander, saying, "What are you going to do? For this man is a Roman citizen."
27 The commander came and said to him, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen? "
"Yes," he said.
28 The commander replied, "I bought this citizenship for a large amount of money."
"But I was born a citizen," Paul said.
25 And when they had bound him with thongs, Paul saith to the centurion that stood by him: Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? 26 Which the centurion hearing, went to the tribune, and told him, saying: What art thou about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen. 27 And the tribune coming, said to him: Tell me, art thou a Roman? But he said: Yea. 28 And the tribune answered: I obtained the being free of this city with a great sum. And Paul said: But I was born so.
22-25 The people in the crowd had listened attentively up to this point, but now they broke loose, shouting out, "Kill him! He’s an insect! Stomp on him!" They shook their fists. They filled the air with curses. That’s when the captain intervened and ordered Paul taken into the barracks. By now the captain was thoroughly exasperated. He decided to interrogate Paul under torture in order to get to the bottom of this, to find out what he had done that provoked this outraged violence. As they spread-eagled him with strips of leather, getting him ready for the whip, Paul said to the centurion standing there, "Is this legal: torturing a Roman citizen without a fair trial?"
26 When the centurion heard that, he went directly to the captain. "Do you realize what you’ve done? This man is a Roman citizen!"
27 The captain came back and took charge. "Is what I hear right? You’re a Roman citizen?"
Paul said, "I certainly am."
28 The captain was impressed. "I paid a huge sum for my citizenship. How much did it cost you?"
"Nothing," said Paul. "It cost me nothing. I was free from the day of my birth."
