ACTS 23:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.”
'This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be slain by them, when I came upon them with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen' — the commander's report highlights his legal correctness: he rescued a citizen from extrajudicial violence. The narrative positions him as upholding Roman law.
