Acts 22:24-26

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁴ the commander ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks. He directed that Paul be interrogated by whipping, in order to learn why the people were shouting at him like this. ²⁵ As they stretched him for the whipping, Paul asked the centurion standing by, “Is it legal for you to whip a man who is a Roman citizen and who has not been found guilty by a proper trial?”

²⁶ When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and said, “What are you about to do?^[a] This man is a Roman citizen!”
