Paul and the Roman Tribune

Acts 22

²² Up to this word they listened to him. Then they raised their voices and said, _n "Away with such a fellow from the earth! For _o he should not be allowed to live." ²³ And as they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air, ²⁴ the tribune ordered him to be brought into _p the barracks, saying that he should be _q examined by flogging, to find out why they were shouting against him like this. ²⁵ But when they had stretched him out for the whips, ₁ Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, "Is it lawful for you to flog _r a 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." ²⁹ So those who were about _s to examine him withdrew from him immediately, and the tribune also _t was afraid, _u for he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that _v he had bound him.
