Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
Immediately he took some soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd. When the people saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
The commander came up and arrested Paul, ordering that he be bound with two chains. Then he asked who he was and what he had done.
And some
cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the
tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
Some in the crowd were
shouting one thing, and some another. And since the
commander could not get at the truth because of the
uproar, he ordered that Paul be brought into the
barracks.
And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
As they were about to take Paul into the
barracks, he asked the
commander, “May I say something to you?” “Do you speak Greek?” he replied.

bade that he should be examined by

heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
On hearing this, the
centurion went and reported it to the
commander. “What are you going to do?” he said. “This man is a Roman citizen.”
Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said,
Yea.
The
commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “
Yes,” he answered.
And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
“I paid a high price for my
citizenship,” said the
commander. “But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied.
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.
Then those who were about to
interrogate Paul
stepped back, and the
commander himself was
alarmed when he realized that he had put a Roman citizen in chains.
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.
The next day the
commander, wanting to learn the real reason Paul was accused by the Jews, released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole
Sanhedrin to
assemble. Then he brought Paul down and had him stand before them.
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.
The dispute grew so violent that the
commander was afraid they would
tear Paul to pieces. He ordered the soldiers to go down and remove him by force and bring him into the
barracks.
Now therefore ye with the council
signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to
morrow, as though ye would
enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
Now then, you and the
Sanhedrin petition the
commander to bring him down to you on the pretext of examining his case more carefully. We are ready to kill him on the way.”
Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.”
So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
So the
centurion took him to the
commander and said, “Paul the prisoner sent and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside, and asked, “What do you need to tell me?”
So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
So the
commander dismissed the young man and
instructed him, “Do not tell
anyone that you have reported this to me.”

Lysias the
commander comes, I will decide your case.”
