ACTS 28:18-20

¹⁸who, when they had examined me, desired to set me at liberty, because there was no cause of death in me.

¹⁹But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had aught to accuse my nation of.

²⁰For this cause therefore did I entreat you to see and to speak with me: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
