Commentary on Acts 22:28

Theological / Devotional

Freedom. Gr. politeia, here meaning “citizenship.” Compare Phil. 3:20. The word “freedom” was probably used by the translators in the same sense as when speaking of the “freedom” of the city, meaning the privileges granted by a city to an honored guest or hero.

Free born. Literally, “so born,” that is, born a Roman citizen.
