Acts 22:24 (2024) – The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him. [cf. v. 26 – When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. v. 27 – Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. v. 28 – And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. v. 29 – Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. v. 30 – On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them. Luke 22:23-27 – And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.] Back to Previous Page (Or to go back to where you left off you can use the "Back" button of your browser)
