24the 1commanderG5506 orderedG2753 him to be broughtG1521 into 2the barracksG3925, statingG3004 that he should be 3examinedG426 by scourgingG3148 soG2443 that he might findG1921 out the reasonG156 whyG1223G3739 they were shoutingG2019 against him that wayG3779.
25But whenG5613 they stretchedG4385 him out 4with thongsG2438, PaulG3972 saidG3004 to the centurionG1543 who was standingG2476 by, “Is it 5lawfulG1832 for you to scourgeG3147 6a manG444 who is a RomanG4514 and uncondemnedG178?”
26When the centurionG1543 heardG191 this, he wentG4334 to the 7commanderG5506 and toldG518 him, sayingG3004, “WhatG5101 are you aboutG3195 to doG4160? For thisG3778 manG444 is a RomanG4514.”
27The 8commanderG5506 cameG4334 and saidG3004 to him, “TellG3004 me, are you a RomanG4514?” And he saidG5346, “YesG3483.”
28The 9commanderG5506 answeredG611, “I acquiredG2932 thisG3778 citizenshipG4174 with a largeG4183 sumG2774 of moneyG2774.” And PaulG3972 saidG5346, “But I was actuallyG2532 bornG1080 a citizen.”
