23 And as they cried, and cast off their garments, and threw dust into the air: 24 The chief captain commanded him to be led into the camp: and he commanded that he should be scourged, and examined, that he might know for what cause they cried so on him. 25 And when they had bound him with thongs, Paul said to the Centurion that stood by: Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Romaine and uncondemned? 26 When the Centurion heard that, he went to the chief captain, and told him saying, what wilt thou do? For this man is a Romaine. 27 And when the chief captain came, he said to him, Tell me, art thou a Romaine? And he said, yea. 28 And the chief captain answered, with a great sum I purchased this freedom. And Paul said: I was so borne. 29 Then those who were about to examine him, departed from him immediately. And the chief captain also was afraid, after that he knew that he was a Romaine, and that he had bound him. 30 And on the next day when he would know the trueth, he loosed him from his bonds & commanded the high priests & all the Counsel to come together, and he brought Paul and set him before them.
