Acts 22:28 CPDV

²⁶  Upon hearing this, the centurion went to the tribune and reported it to him, saying: 'What do you intend to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.'

²⁷  And the tribune, approaching, said to him: 'Tell me. Are you a Roman?' So he said, 'Yes.'

²⁸  And the tribune responded, 'I obtained this citizenship at great cost.' And Paul said, 'But I was born to it.'

²⁹  Therefore, those who were going to torture him, immediately withdrew from him. The tribune was similarly afraid, after he realized that he was a Roman citizen, for he had bound him.

³⁰  But on the next day, wanting to discover more diligently what the reason was that he was accused by the Jews, he released him, and he ordered the priests to convene, with the entire council. And, producing Paul, he stationed him among them.
