Acts 22:26-28

Modern English Version

²⁶ On hearing this, the centurion reported to the commander, saying, “What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen.”

²⁷ The commander came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?”

He said, “Yes.”

²⁸ The commander answered, “I bought my citizenship for a large sum.”

So Paul said, “But I was born a citizen.”
