When Paul pointed out that he was a Roman citizen by birth, “the men who were about to interrogate him under torture backed away from him; and the military commander became afraid when he realized that [Paul] was a Roman and that he had bound him in chains. ” ​ — Acts 22: 25 - 29.
Kur Pavli tregoi se kishte lindur me të drejtat e qytetarisë romake, « ata që ishin bërë gati ta merrnin në pyetje duke e torturuar, u larguan prej tij. Kurse komandanti ushtarak u frikësua kur mori vesh se Pavli ishte romak, dhe se ai e kishte lidhur ». ​ — Vep. 22: 25 - 29.
