Since Paul was a Roman citizen he received many special rights that others could not enjoy. Paul was able to argue his case and even speak to the emperor if he wished. Even though his life was not spared, he was killed a faster and less painful way than Jesus’s other disciples. Most of Jesus’s disciples died on the cross as he did, but Paul was executed by the sword. | Since Paul was a Roman citizen he received many special rights that others could not enjoy.
