Acts 22:27-29

International Standard Version

²⁷ So the tribune went and asked Paul,^[a] “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?”

“Yes,” he said.

²⁸ Then the tribune replied, “I paid a lot of money for this citizenship of mine.”

Paul said, “But I was born a citizen.” ²⁹ Immediately those who were about to examine him stepped back, and the tribune was afraid when he found out that Paul^[b] was a Roman citizen and that he had tied him up.
