Disciples’ Literal New Testament

²⁴ the commander ordered that he be brought into the barracks— having said that he should be interrogated with whips in order that he might learn for what reason they were calling-out against him in this manner. ²⁵ But when they stretched him out with^[a] the straps^[b], Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it lawful^[c] for you to whip a man who is a Roman and uncondemned?” ²⁶ And having heard it, the centurion, having gone to the commander, reported, saying, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman”.
