castle, and that
he should be scourged and tortured: to know for what cause they did so
cry out against him.

22:25. And when they had bound him with thongs, Paul saith to the
centurion that stood by him: Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that
is a Roman and uncondemned?

22:26. Which the centurion hearing, went to the tribune and told him,
saying: What art thou about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.

22:27. And the tribune coming, said to him: Tell me. Art thou a Roman?
But he said: Yea.

22:28. And the tribune answered: I obtained the being free of this city
with a great sum. And Paul said: But I was born so.

22:29. Immediately therefore they departed from him that were about to
torture him. The tribune also was afraid after he understood that he was
a Roman citizen and because he had bound him.

22:30. But on the next day, meaning to know more diligently for what
cause he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him and commanded the
priests to come together and all the council: and, bringing forth Paul,

23:4. And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of
God?

23:5. And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest.
For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy
people.

23:6. And Paul, knowing that the one part were Sadducees and the other
Pharisees, cried out in the council: Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the
son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am
called in question.

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

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

23:9. And there arose a great cry. And some of the Pharisees rising up,
