In context
23 And as they cried out and threw off their garments and cast dust into the air,
24 The tribune commanded him to be brought into the castle, and that he should be scourged and tortured: to know for what cause they did so cry out against him.
25 And when they had bound him with thongs, Paul saith to the centurion that stood by him: Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman and uncondemned?
26 Which the centurion hearing, went to the tribune and told him, saying: What art thou about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.
27 And the tribune coming, said to him: Tell me. Art thou a Roman? But he said: Yea.
28 And the tribune answered: I obtained the being free of this city with a great sum. And Paul said: But I was born so.
29 Immediately therefore they departed from him that were about to torture him. The tribune also was afraid after he understood that he was a Roman citizen and because he had bound him.
