Strongs On/Off
Context
22:24 the commanding officer ordered Paul to be brought back into the barracks . He told them to interrogate Paul by beating him with a lash so that he could find out the reason the crowd was shouting at Paul in this way.
22:25 When they had stretched him out for the lash , Paul said to the centurion standing nearby , “Is it legal for you to lash a man who is a Roman citizen without a proper trial ?”
22:26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the commanding officer and reported it, saying , “What are you about to do ? For this man is a Roman citizen .”
22:27 So the commanding officer came and asked Paul , “Tell me , are you a Roman citizen ?” He replied , “Yes .”
22:28 The commanding officer answered , “I acquired this citizenship with a large sum of money .” “But I was even born a citizen,” Paul replied .
22:29 Then those who were about to interrogate him stayed away from him , and the commanding officer was frightened when he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had had him tied up .
