In Rome

¹⁶ When we arrived in Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself with a soldier guarding him.

¹⁷ After three days Paul called the local Jewish leaders to a meeting. When they had gathered, he said to them, “My fellow Israelites, even though I did nothing against our people or the customs that we received from our ancestors, I was made a prisoner in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans. ¹⁸ After questioning me, the Romans wanted to release me, because they found that I had done nothing for which I deserved to die.
