Acts 22:27

"When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, “Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!”"

Key Reflection

The centurion's action reflects both his awareness of Roman law and his growing recognition of divine justice. By interceding on Paul's behalf, he demonstrates the unexpected moral and legal conscience that can arise even in a non-believer, highlighting the universal appeal of righteousness.
