When the centurion heard that, he went to the uppercaptain, and told him saying: What intendest thou to do? This man is a Roman.
Then the company, and the Captain, and the ministers of the jewes, took Iesus and bound him,
And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto an undercaptain: Is it lawful for you to scourge a Roman uncondemned?
¶ The uppercaptain came to him, and said: Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said: Yee
Then straightway departed from him they which should have examined him. And the captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman: because he had bound him.
This man was taken of the jewes, and should have been killed of them: Then came I with soldiers, and rescued him, and perceived that he was a Roman.
