[Acts 22:23] And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,

[Acts 22:24] 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.

[Acts 22:25] 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?

[Acts 22:26] When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.

[Acts 22:27] Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.

[Acts 22:28] And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.

[Acts 22:29] 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.

[Acts 23:2] And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.

[Acts 23:3] Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

[Acts 23:4] And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?

[Acts 23:5] Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

[Acts 23:7] And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.

[Acts 23:8] For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.

[Acts 23:9] And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.

[Acts 23:10] And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
