LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ And after three days, it happened that Paul called together those being chief of the Jews. And they coming together, he said to them, Men, brothers, I did nothing contrary to the people, or to the ancestral customs. I was delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans, ¹⁸ who examining me were of a mind to let me go, because no cause of death was in me. ¹⁹ But the Jews speaking against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not as having anything to accuse my nation. ²⁰ On account of this, then, I called for you, to see and to speak to you . For I have this chain around me for the sake of the hope of Israel.
