Then the commander came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.”

See the chapter Copy

Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him.

When the centurion heard that, he went and told the commander, saying, “Take care what you do, for this man is a Roman.”

The commander answered, “With a large sum I obtained this citizenship.” And Paul said, “But I was born a citizen.”

And as they bound 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?”
