Acts 22:25-26

25But when they had stretched him out for the whips,
Or  when they had tied him up with leather strips
Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, “Is it lawful for you to flog ba man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?”
26When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and said to him, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.”
