Acts 22:24-26

Worldwide English (New Testament)

²⁴ The man in charge of the soldiers ordered Paul to be brought into the army house. He said that he should be beaten hard to make him tell why the people shouted so much at him.

²⁵ When they had tied him with ropes, Paul said to the captain who was standing by, `Is it right for you to beat a man who belongs to Rome without judging his case?'

²⁶ When the captain heard this, he told the commanding officer. He said, `What are you going to do? This man is a Roman!'
