Acts 28:17-19
King James Version
17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

Hungarian Károli
17 Lõn pedig, hogy három nap mulva magához hívatá Pál a zsidók között való fõembereket. Mikor pedig egybegyûltek, monda nékik: Atyámfiai,férfiak, én jóllehet semmit sem vétkeztem a nép ellen, vagy az õsi szokások ellen, mindazáltal foglyul adattam át Jeruzsálembõl a rómaiak kezébe.
18 Kik miután kihallgattak, el akarának engem bocsátani, mivelhogy én bennem semmi halálra méltó vétek nincsen.
19 De mivel a zsidók ellene mondtak, kényszeríttettem a császárra appellálni, nem mintha az én népem ellen volna valami vádam.

Paul Preaches at Rome Under Guard
17 Three days later he called together the local Jewish leaders.(A) When they had assembled, Paul said to them: “My brothers,(B) although I have done nothing against our people(C) or against the customs of our ancestors,(D) I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans. 18 They examined me(E) and wanted to release me,(F) because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.(G) 19 The Jews objected, so I was compelled to make an appeal to Caesar.(H) I certainly did not intend to bring any charge against my own people.

17 And it came to pass after three days that Paul called the leaders of the Jews together.

Paul in Rome
17 After three days he called together the local leaders of the Jews, and when they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, (A)though I had done nothing against our people or (B)the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. 18 When they had examined me, they (C)wished to set me at liberty, (D)because there was no reason for the death penalty in my case. 19 But because the Jews objected, I was compelled (E)to appeal to Caesar—though I had no charge to bring against (F)my nation.
