Upon hearing this, the centurion went to the tribune and reported it to him, saying: “What do you intend to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.” (Acts 22, 26)
And the tribune, approaching, said to him: “Tell me. Are you a Roman?” So he said, “Yes.” (Acts 22, 27)
And the tribune responded, “I obtained this citizenship at great cost.” And Paul said, “But I was born to it.” (Acts 22, 28)
