Acts 22:25-27

Good News Translation

²⁵ But when they had tied him up to be whipped, Paul said to the officer standing there, “Is it lawful for you to whip a Roman citizen who hasn't even been tried for any crime?”

²⁶ When the officer heard this, he went to the commander and asked him, “What are you doing? That man is a Roman citizen!”

²⁷ So the commander went to Paul and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?”

“Yes,” answered Paul.
