Acts 28:17-19

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

¹⁷ And it came about after three days that he called-together the ones being leading ones of the Jews. And they having come together, he was saying to them, “I, men, brothers, having done nothing contrary to our people or our ancestors’ customs, was handed-over as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans— ¹⁸ who, having examined me, were wanting to release me because of there being no charge worthy of death in connection with me. ¹⁹ But the Jews speaking-against it, I was compelled to appeal-to Caesar— not as-though having anything to accuse my nation.
