And coming up the chiliarch said to him, Tell me, are you a Roman? And He said, Yes.

See the chapter Copy

Then the band, and the chiliarch, and under-officers of the Jews together seized Jesus and bound Him.

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

And hearing, coming near the centurion reported to the chiliarch, saying, Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman.

And the chiliarch answered, With a great sum I bought this citizenship. And Paul said, But I was even born free.
