Acts 22:25-27

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁵ But when they had stretched him out with the thongs (leather straps), Paul asked the centurion who was standing by, Is it legal for you to flog a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned [without a trial]?

²⁶ When the centurion heard that, he went to the commandant and said to him, What are you about to do? This man is a Roman citizen!

²⁷ So the commandant came and said to [Paul], Tell me, are you a Roman citizen? And he said, Yes [indeed]!
