Acts 22:25 ASV

²³  And as they cried out, and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,

²⁴  the chief captain commanded him be brought into the castle, bidding that he should be examined by scourging, that he might know for what cause they so shouted against him.

²⁵  And when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

²⁶  And when the centurion heard it, he went to the chief captain and told him, saying, What art thou about to do? for this man is a Roman.

²⁷  And the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea.
