26
Which the centurion hearing, went to the tribune and told him, saying: What art thou about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.
27
And the tribune coming, said to him: Tell me. Art thou a Roman? But he said: Yea.
28
And the tribune answered: I obtained the being free of this city with a great sum. And Paul said: But I was born so.
29
Immediately therefore they departed from him that were about to torture him. The tribune also was afraid after he understood that he was a Roman citizen and because he had bound him.
