Acts 28:16-20

16WhenG3753 we enteredG1525 RomeG4516, PaulG3972 was 1allowedG2010 to stayG3306 by himselfG1438, with the soldierG4757 who was guardingG5442 him.

17AfterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 2Paul calledG4779 togetherG4779 thoseG3588 who were 3the leadingG4413 menG4413 of the JewsG2453, and when they cameG4905 togetherG4905, he began sayingG3004 to them, “4BrethrenG435G80, 5though I had doneG4160 nothingG3762 againstG1727 our peopleG2992 orG2228 6the customsG1485 of our 7fathersG3971, yet I was deliveredG3860 as a prisonerG1198 from JerusalemG2414 into the handsG5495 of the RomansG4514. 18And when they had 8examinedG350 me, they 9were willingG1014 to releaseG630 me becauseG1223 there was 10noG3367 groundG156 11for putting me to deathG2288. 19But when the JewsG2453 12objectedG483, I was forcedG315 to 13appealG1941 to CaesarG2541, not that I hadG2192 anyG5100 accusationG2723 againstG2723 my nationG1484. 20For thisG3778 reasonG156, thereforeG3767, I 14requestedG3870 to seeG3708 you and to speakG4354 with you, for I am wearingG4029 15thisG3778 chainG254 for 16the sakeG1752 of the hopeG1680 of IsraelG2274.”
