Citizenship: The rights and privileges of a citizen in distinction from a foreigner
(Luke 15:15; 19:14; Acts 21:39) Under the Mosaic law non-Israelites, with
the exception of the Moabites and the Ammonites and others mentioned
in
(Deuteronomy 23:1-3) were admitted to the general privileges of citizenship
among the Jews
(Exodus 12:19; Leviticus 24:22; Numbers 15:15; 35:15; Deuteronomy 10:18; 14:29; 16:10,14)
The right of citizenship under the Roman government was granted by the
emperor to individuals, and sometimes to provinces, as a favour or as a
recompense for services rendered to the state, or for a sum of money
(Acts 22:28) This "freedom" secured privileges equal to those enjoyed
by natives of Rome. Among the most notable of these was the provision
that a man could not be bound or imprisoned without a formal trial
(Acts 22:25,26) or scourged
(Acts 16:37) All Roman citizens had the
right of appeal to Caesar
(Acts 25:11)
