Acts 22:24-26

Living Bible

²⁴ So the commander brought him inside and ordered him lashed with whips to make him confess his crime. He wanted to find out why the crowd had become so furious!

²⁵ As they tied Paul down to lash him, Paul said to an officer standing there, “Is it legal for you to whip a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been tried?”

²⁶ The officer went to the commander and asked, “What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen!”
