Acts 22:27-29

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁷ The commander came and said to him, ‘Tell me, are you a Roman citizen? ’

‘Yes,’ he said.

²⁸ The commander replied, ‘I bought this citizenship for a large amount of money.’

‘But I was born a citizen,’ Paul said.

²⁹ So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him immediately. The commander too was alarmed when he realised Paul was a Roman citizen and he had bound him.^(A)
