Acts 22:26-30

²⁶And hearing this, the man went to the chief captain and gave him an account of it, saying, What are you about to do? for this man is a Roman.

²⁷And the chief captain came to him and said, Give me an answer, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes.

²⁸And the chief captain said, I got Roman rights for myself at a great price. And Paul said, But I had them by birth.

²⁹Then those who were about to put him to the test went away: and the chief captain was in fear, seeing that he was a Roman, and that he had put chains on him.

³⁰But on the day after, desiring to have certain knowledge of what the Jews had to say against him, he made him free, and gave orders for the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin to come together, and he took Paul and put him before them.
