This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
Note 3 at Acts 23:27: This was not a true statement by Claudius Lysias. He did not find out that Paul was a Roman citizen (Acts 22:25-29) until after he had saved him from the mob (Acts 21:31). This was nothing but an attempt to portray himself in a better light than what he deserved for his own purposes.
