Acts 22:25–30And when they had stretched him out for the lashes, Paul said to the centurion standing by, A man who is a Roman and uncondemned, is it legal for you to be scourging? And the centurion having heard this, having gone to the chiliarch, brought this report saying, What are you about to be doing, for this man is a Roman? And having come, the chiliarch said to him, Be telling me, as for you, a Roman are you? And he said, Yes. And the chiliarch answered, As for myself, with a great sum of money I procured this citizenship. But Paul said, And as for myself, I am a Roman by heredity. Then immediately they stood off from him, those who were about to be examining him. And the chiliarch became afraid, having come to know that he was a Roman and because he had put him in chains. Now, on the next day, desiring after mature consideration to come to know what the particular thing was of which he was being accused by the Jews, he unshackled him and commanded the chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin to assemble. And having brought Paul down, he stood him before them.As they stretched him out to flog him, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been found guilty?” When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and reported it. “What are you going to do?” he asked. “This man is a Roman citizen.” The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “Yes, I am,” he answered. Then the commander said, “I had to pay a lot of money for my citizenship.” “But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied. Those who were about to interrogate him withdrew immediately. The commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put Paul, a Roman citizen, in chains. The commander wanted to find out exactly why Paul was being accused by the Jews. So the next day he released him and ordered the chief priests and all the members of the Sanhedrin to assemble. Then he brought Paul and had him stand before them.

Acts 21:37–22:2And as Paul was about to be brought into the barracks he says to the chiliarch, Will you permit me to say something to you? And he said, Do you know Greek? As for you, are you not then the Egyptian, that one who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the uninhabited region four thousand men of the Assassins? But Paul said, As for myself, I am indeed a man, a Jew, of Tarsus, a city of Cilicia, a citizen of no undistinguished city. And I beg of you, permit me to speak to my people. And after he had given him permission, Paul, having taken his stand on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. And a sustained silence having come, he addressed them in the Hebrew dialect, saying, Men, brethren, and fathers, hear my defense which I am making to you just now. And having heard that in the Hebrew dialect he was addressing them, they provided him all the more with silence.As the soldiers were about to take Paul into the barracks, he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?” “Do you speak Greek?” he replied. “Aren’t you the Egyptian who started a revolt and led four thousand terrorists out into the wilderness some time ago?” Paul answered, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary city. Please let me speak to the people.” After receiving the commander’s permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the crowd. When they were all silent, he said to them in Aramaic: “Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense.” When they heard him speak to them in Aramaic, they became very quiet. Then Paul said:
Acts 22:22–24And they kept on listening to him up to this word, and they raised their voice, saying, Be taking away from the earth such a person, for it was not fitting that he should live. And when they were crying out and throwing off their garments and throwing dust into the air, the chiliarch commanded that he should be brought into the barracks of the soldiers, having said that he should be given a judicial examination under the duress of the torture inflicted by scourging, in order that he might come to fully know the cause on account of which they were continually shouting so against him.The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He’s not fit to live!” As they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air, the commander ordered that Paul be taken into the barracks. He directed that he be flogged and interrogated in order to find out why the people were shouting at him like this.
Acts 23:25–30And he wrote a letter having this form: Claudias Lysias, to his Excellency, the governor Felix, greeting. This man, having been seized by the Jews and about to be put out of the way by them, having rushed in in the nick of time with my heavily armed legionnaires, I rescued, having learned that he was a Roman. And desiring to come to know fully the cause on account of which they were bringing a charge against him, I brought him down to the Sanhedrin, their council, whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law, but having not even one thing worthy of death or bonds laid to his charge. And when it was pointed out to me that there would be a plot against the man, immediately I sent him to you, having given orders also to his accusers to be telling before you what they have against him.He wrote a letter as follows: Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings. This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, but I came with my troops and rescued him, for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen. I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him to their Sanhedrin. I found that the accusation had to do with questions about their law, but there was no charge against him that deserved death or imprisonment. When I was informed of a plot to be carried out against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also ordered his accusers to present to you their case against him.

Acts 25:9–12But Festus, desiring to ingratiate himself with the Jews, answering Paul, said, Are you willing, having gone up to Jerusalem, there to be judged concerning these things in my presence? Then Paul said, I have taken my stand before the judgment seat of Caesar, and here I stand where it is a necessity in the nature of the case for me to be judged. To Jews I have not done even one wrong thing, as also, as for yourself, you understand very well. Now, therefore, assuming for the moment that I am a wrongdoer or have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But since there does not exist even one thing of those things of which these accuse me, no one has the power to give me up as a favor to them. I lodge my appeal with Caesar. Then Festus, after he conferred with his council, answered, You lodged your appeal with Caesar. To Caesar you shall proceed.Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?” Paul answered: “I am now standing before Caesar’s court, where I ought to be tried. I have not done any wrong to the Jews, as you yourself know very well. If, however, I am guilty of doing anything deserving death, I do not refuse to die. But if the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!” After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”
