*
And as they bound him with thongs ,
Paul said unto the centurion that stood by ,
Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman ,
and uncondemned ?
*
When the centurion heard that ,
he went and told the chief captain ,
saying ,
Take heed what thou doest :
for this man is a Roman .
*
Then the chief captain came ,
and said unto him ,
Tell me ,
art thou a Roman ?
He said ,
Yea .
*
And the chief captain answered ,
With a great sum obtained I this freedom .
And Paul said ,
But I was free born .
*
Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him :
and the chief captain also was afraid ,
after he knew that he was a Roman ,
and because he had bound him .
