Acts 22:24-29

24theG3588 commanderG5506 ordered thatG2753 Paul be broughtG1521 intoG1519 theG3588 barracksG3925. He directed thatG2036 Paul be floggedG3148 and interrogatedG426 toG2443 determineG1921 the reasonG3739G156 forG1223 thisG3779 outcryG2019 against himG846.

25ButG1161 asG5613 they stretched him outG4385G846 to strap him downG3588G2438, PaulG3972 saidG2036 toG4314 theG3588 centurionG1543 standing thereG2476, “Is it lawfulG1487G1832 for youG4771 to flogG3147 aG444 Roman citizenG4514 without a trialG178?”

26On hearingG191 this, theG3588 centurionG1543 wentG4334 and reportedG518 it to theG3588 commanderG5506. “WhatG5101 are you goingG3195 to doG4160?” he saidG3004. “ThisG3778 manG444 isG1510 a Roman citizenG4514.”

TheG3588 commanderG5506 wentG4334 toG846 Paul and askedG2036, “TellG3004 meG1473, areG1510 youG4771 a Roman citizenG4514?”

“YesG3483,” he answeredG5346.

28“IG1473 paidG2932 a highG4183 priceG2774 for my citizenshipG4174,” saidG611 theG3588 commanderG5506.

“ButG1161 IG1473 was born a citizenG2532G1080,” PaulG3972 repliedG5346.

29At onceG3767G2112 those whoG3588 were aboutG3195 to interrogateG426 Paul stepped backG868G575G846, andG2532 theG3588 commanderG5506 himself was alarmedG5399 when he realizedG1921G3754G1510 thatG3754 he had putG1510G1210 a Roman citizen in chainsG4514.
