The Acts
Chapters 22:27-30
Revised Version 1885
27And the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea.
28And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I am a Roman born.
29They then which were about to examine him straightway departed from him: and the chief captain also was afraid, when he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
30But on the morrow, desiring to know the certainty, wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
