Acts 28:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ After questioning me, the Romans wanted to release me, because they found that I had done nothing for which I deserved to die. ^19 (A)But when the Jews opposed this, I was forced to appeal to the Emperor, even though I had no accusation to make against my own people. ²⁰ That is why I asked to see you and talk with you. As a matter of fact, I am bound in chains like this for the sake of him for whom the people of Israel hope.”
