Acts 22 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
18 and saw him saying unto me: Make haste, and depart quickly out of Jerusalem: because they will not receive thy testimony of me.
21 And he said to me: Go, for into the Gentiles a far will I send thee.
24 the Tribune commanded him to be carried into the castle, and to be beaten with whips, & that he should be tormented: to know for what cause they did so cry at him.
25 And when they had bound him very straight with thongs, Paul saith to the Centurion standing by him: Is it lawful for you to whip a man that is a Roman and uncondemned?
26 Which the Centurion hearing, went to the Tribune, and told him, saying: What wilt thou do? for this man is a citizen of Rome.
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 this city with a great sum. And Paul said: But I was also born to it.
29 Immediately therefore they departed from him that were to torment him. The Tribune also feared after he understood that he was a citizen of Rome, and because he had bound him.
30 But the next day meaning to know more diligently for what cause he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the Priests to come together and all the Council: & bringing forth Paul, he set him among them.
