Deeds (Act) of Apostles 28:18-20

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.
