Acts 28:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ The Romans gave me a trial and wanted to release me, for they found no cause for the death sentence demanded by the Jewish leaders. ¹⁹ But when the Jews protested the decision, I felt it necessary, with no malice against them, to appeal to Caesar. ²⁰ I asked you to come here today so we could get acquainted and I could tell you that it is because I believe the Messiah^[a] has come that I am bound with this chain.”
