22 They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice and said, “Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn’ t fit to live!”And they gave him audience unto this word; and they lifted up their voice, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.그들은 이 말까지는 그의 말을 듣고 있었으나, 그 다음에는 목소리를 높여 외쳤다.

27 The commanding officer came and asked him, “ Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “ Yes.”And the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea.지휘관이 와서 그에게 물었다. "말해 보시오. 당신이 로마 시민이오?" 그가 대답했다. "그렇습니다."

And Paul said, But I am a Roman born.지휘관이 말했다. "나는 큰 돈을 주고 이 시민권을 샀소." 바울이 말했다. "그러나 나는 날 때부터 로마 시민입니다."
