"And the tribune, approaching, said to him: “Tell me. Are you a Roman?” So he said, “Yes.” "
— Acts 22:27, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.”
“And the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea. ”
“The commanding officer came and asked him, "Tell me, are you a Roman?" He said, "Yes."”
“So the commanding officer came and asked Paul,“Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” He replied,“Yes.””
“And the tribune coming, said to him: Tell me. Art thou a Roman? But he said: Yea.”
“And the chief captain came to him and said, Give me an answer, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes.”
“Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.”
the tribune ordered him to be brought into the fortress, and to be scourged and tortured, in order to discover the reason that they were crying out in this way against him.
And when they had tied him with straps, Paul said to the centurion who was standing near him, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman and has not been condemned?”
Upon hearing this, the centurion went to the tribune and reported it to him, saying: “What do you intend to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.”
And the tribune, approaching, said to him: “Tell me. Are you a Roman?” So he said, “Yes.”
And the tribune responded, “I obtained this citizenship at great cost.” And Paul said, “But I was born to it.”
Therefore, those who were going to torture him, immediately withdrew from him. The tribune was similarly afraid, after he realized that he was a Roman citizen, for he had bound him.
But on the next day, wanting to discover more diligently what the reason was that he was accused by the Jews, he released him, and he ordered the priests to convene, with the entire council. And, producing Paul, he stationed him among them.
