ACTS 22:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?”
But when they stretched him out with thongs, Paul said to the centurion standing by, 'Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?'— Paul invokes his Roman citizenship (never mentioned before) at the moment of scourging. The legal protection of citizenship becomes his shield, though it is a Gentile shield, not a Jewish one.
