Acts 28:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ Who, when they had examined me, would have released me, for that there was no cause of death in me;

¹⁹ But the Jews contradicting it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had any thing to accuse my nation of.

²⁰ For this cause therefore I desired to see you, and to speak to you. Because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.
