Acts 22:26-28

Amplified Bible

²⁶ When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and said to him, “What are you about to do? This man is a ^[a]Roman!” ²⁷ So the commander came and asked Paul, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” And he said, “Yes.” ²⁸ The commander replied, “I ^[b]purchased this citizenship [of mine] for a large sum of money [so how did you acquire yours?].” Paul said, “But I was actually born a citizen.”
