But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
Pero Pablo respondió: 'Soy judío, de Tarso de Cilicia, ciudadano de una ciudad que no es insignificante. Te ruego que me permitas hablar al pueblo.'
Pablo se identificó como ciudadano de Tarso y pidió permiso para dirigirse al pueblo.
