Verse 25
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?
Ver. 25. A man that is a Roman ] A citizen of Rome might neither be bound nor beaten. See Trapp on " Act 16:37 " Paul by this freedom escaped whipping; we by that which Christ hath purchased us, not for gold or silver, but his own blood, 1 Peter 1:19 , escape the pain of eternal torment.
