Acts 22:27-29

World English Bible

²⁷ The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?”

He said, “Yes.”

²⁸ The commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.”

Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.”

²⁹ Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
