26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the tribunal, saying, Take heed what thou doest, for this man is a Roman.
27 Then the tribunal came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yes.
28 And the tribunal answered, With a great sum I obtained this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
29 Then straightway those who should have tormented him departed from him, and the tribunal was also afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman and because he had bound him.
30 On the next day, because he wanted to know of certainty the cause for which he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands and commanded the princes of the priests and all their council to appear and brought Paul down and set him before them.
