Acts 28:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ Three days later Paul sent for the Jewish leaders there. When they came together, he said, “Brothers, I have done nothing against our people. I have done nothing against the customs of our fathers. But I was arrested in Jerusalem and given to the Romans. ¹⁸ The Romans asked me many questions. But they could find no reason why I should be killed. They wanted to let me go free, ¹⁹ but the Jews there did not want that. So I had to ask to come to Rome to have my trial before Caesar. But I have no charge to bring against my own people.
