Acts 28:18-20

¹⁸The Roman authorities/officials questioned me and wanted to release me, because I had not done any bad thing for which I should be executed {they should kill me}.

¹⁹But when the Jewish leaders SYN there opposed what the Roman authorities wanted to do, I had to formally request that the Emperor judge me here in Rome. But my reason for doing that was not that I wanted to accuse our leaders about anything.

²⁰So I have requested you to come here so that I can tell you why I am a prisoner. It is because I believe in MTY our Messiah, the one God long ago promised to send to us (inc) Jews.”
