So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Judeans, seized Yeshua and bound him,
When they had tied him up with thongs, Sha'ul asked the centurion who stood by, *Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?*
When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, *Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!*
The commanding officer answered, *I bought my citizenship for a great price.* Sha'ul said, *But I was born a Roman.*
