αὐτῷ & ὁ
˱to˲_him & he
The pronouns them, him, and he refer to Paul. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Paul … he”
22:25-29 Paul claimed his status as a Roman citizen at this critical time when he was about to be tortured to make him confess his supposed crime. Roman citizenship was a valuable asset, and claiming it falsely was a capital offense. Its principal benefits were the prohibition of scourging and the right to appeal to the emperor (25:11). The commander was frightened at having nearly violated Roman law (cp. 16:35-39).
