Acts 28:19-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁹ But when the Jews objected, I was forced to appeal my case to the emperor. That doesn’t mean I have any charges to bring against my own people. ²⁰ That’s why I asked to see you and speak with you. I’m wearing these chains because of what Israel hopes for.”

²¹ The Jewish leaders told Paul, “We haven’t received any letters from Judea about you, and no Jewish person who has come to Rome has reported or mentioned anything bad about you.
