But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast {us} into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.

But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from {their} purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast {themselves} first {into the sea}, and get to land:

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 the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian {band},

And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto {one} named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.

And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver {him} into the hands of the Gentiles.

But Paul said, I am a man {which am} a Jew of Tarsus, {a city} in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.

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.

Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.

And when they had bound him, they led {him} away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
