Acts 28:17-20

MKJV(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 against the people or customs of our fathers. 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 there was no cause of death in me. 19 But the Jews speaking against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar; not as having anything to accuse my nation. 20 For this cause, then, I called for you, to see and to speak with you. For I have this chain around me for the hope of Israel.
