Acts 22:25 BBE

²³  And while they were crying out, and pulling off their clothing, and sending dust into the air,

²⁴  The chief captain gave orders for him to be taken into the army building, saying that he would put him to the test by whipping, so that he might have knowledge of the reason why they were crying out so violently against him.

²⁵  And when they had put leather bands round him, Paul said to the captain who was present, Is it the law for you to give blows to a man who is a Roman and has not been judged?

²⁶  And hearing this, the man went to the chief captain and gave him an account of it, saying, What are you about to do? for this man is a Roman.

²⁷  And the chief captain came to him and said, Give me an answer, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes.
