Acts 22:28

A church father on this verse
Let it suffice to the martyr to have purged his own sins: it is the part of ingratitude or of pride to lavish upon others also what one has obtained at a high price. Who has redeemed another's death by his own, but the Son of God alone? For even in His very passion He set the robber free.
Tertullian, 3th c. — On Modesty
Original

28And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
