Acts 22:23-25 Modern English Version (MEV)

23. As they shouted and threw off their garments and threw dust into the air,

24. the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks and examined with scourging, so that he might learn what crime they were alleging against him.

25. As they stretched him forward with straps, Paul said to the centurion standing by, “Is it legal for you to flog an uncondemned Roman citizen?”
