Deeds (Act) of Apostles 28:14-23

¹⁴Where when we found brethren, we were prayed to dwell there with them seven days. And so we came to Rome.

¹⁵And from thence, when brethren had heard, they came to us to the chapping of Appii, and to the Three Taverns. And when Paul had seen them, he did thankings to God, and took trust.

¹⁶And when we came to Rome, it was suffered to Paul to dwell by himself, with a knight keeping him.

¹⁷And after the third day, he called together the worthiest of the Jews. And when they came, he said to them, Brethren, I did nothing against the people either custom of fathers, and I was bound at Jerusalem, and was betaken into the hands of Romans.

¹⁸And when they had asked of me, would have delivered me, for that no cause of death was in me.

¹⁹But for the Jews gainsaid, I was constrained to appeal to the emperor or to Caesar; not as having anything to accuse my people.

²⁰Therefore for this cause I prayed to see you, and speak to you; for for the hope of Israel I am gird about with this chain.

²¹And they said to him, Neither we have received letters of thee from Judea, neither any of brethren coming showed, either spake, any evil thing of thee.

²²But we pray to hear of thee, what things thou feelest; for of this sect it is known to us, that everywhere men gainsaith it.

²³And when they had ordained a day to him, many men came to him into the inn. To which he expounded, witnessing the kingdom of God, and counselled them of Jesus, of the law of Moses, and of prophets, from the morrow till to the eventide.
