25But whenG5613 they stretchedG4385 him out 1with thongsG2438, PaulG3972 saidG3004 to the centurionG1543 who was standingG2476 by, “Is it 2lawfulG1832 for you to scourgeG3147 3a manG444 who is a RomanG4514 and uncondemnedG178?” 26When the centurionG1543 heardG191 this, he wentG4334 to the 4commanderG5506 and toldG518 him, sayingG3004, “WhatG5101 are you aboutG3195 to doG4160? For thisG3778 manG444 is a RomanG4514.” 27The 5commanderG5506 cameG4334 and saidG3004 to him, “TellG3004 me, are you a RomanG4514?” And he saidG5346, “YesG3483.” 28The 6commanderG5506 answeredG611, “I acquiredG2932 thisG3778 citizenshipG4174 with a largeG4183 sumG2774 of moneyG2774.” And PaulG3972 saidG5346, “But I was actuallyG2532 bornG1080 a citizen.” 29ThereforeG3767 thoseG3588 who were aboutG3195 to 7examineG426 him immediatelyG2112 8letG868 goG868 of him; and the 9commanderG5506 alsoG2532 10was afraidG5399 when he foundG1921 out that he was a RomanG4514, and becauseG3754 he had 1112putG1210 him in chainsG1210.
