* 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 . * On the morrow , because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews , he loosed him from his bands , and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear , and brought Paul down , and set him before them .
