Acts 22:28 Context
26When the Centurion heard that, hee went and told the chiefe captaine, saying, Take heede what thou doest, for this man is a Romane. 27Then the chiefe captaine came; and said vnto him, Tell me, art thou a Romane? He said, Yea. 28And the chiefe captaine answered, With a great summe obteined I this freedome. And Paul said, But I was free borne. 29Then straightway they departed from him which should haue examined him: and the chiefe captaine also was afraid after he knew that he was a Romane, & because he had bound him. 30On the morrow, because he would haue knowen the certaintie wherefore he was accused of the Iewes, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chiefe Priests and all their Councill to appeare, and brought Paul downe, and set him before them.
