And ye chefe captayne was afrayed, whan he knewe that he was a Romayne, and because he had bounde him. 30 On the nexte daye wolde he knowe the certentye wherfore he was accused of the Iewes, and he lowsed him from the bondes, and commaunded the hye prestes and all their councell to come together, and broughte Paul forth, and set him amonge them.
