Acts 22:25 WBT

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

²⁴  The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know for what cause they cried so against him.

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

²⁶  When the centurion heard [that], he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest; for this man is a Roman.

²⁷  Then the chief captain came, and said to him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yes.
