Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

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

When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what you do: for this man is a Roman.

And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
