Acts 28:17-22

¹⁷After three days, he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, I was taken prisoner in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.

¹⁸They examined me and wanted to release me, because there was no basis for a death sentence against me.

¹⁹But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, even though I have no charge to bring against my nation.

²⁰So for this reason I have called to see you and speak with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”

²¹The leaders replied, “We have not received any letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the brothers from there reported or even mentioned anything bad about you.

²²But we consider your views worth hearing, because we know that people everywhere are speaking against this sect.”
