Acts 22:26-29

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.” 27So the tribune came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” And he said, “Yes.” 28The tribune answered, “I bought this citizenship for a large sum.” Paul said, “But I am a citizen by birth.” 29So those who were about ato examine him withdrew from him immediately, and the tribune also bwas afraid, cfor he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that dhe had bound him.
