Acts 28:19
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, even though I have no charge to bring against my nation.
In context
17 After three days, he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, I was taken prisoner in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.
18 They examined me and wanted to release me, because there was no basis for a death sentence against me.
19 But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, even though I have no charge to bring against my nation.
20 So for this reason I have called to see you and speak with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
21 The leaders replied, “We have not received any letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the brothers from there reported or even mentioned anything bad about you.
