Acts 28:17-20
17AfterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 1Paul calledG4779 togetherG4779 thoseG3588 who were 2the leadingG4413 menG4413 of the JewsG2453, and when they cameG4905 togetherG4905, he began sayingG3004 to them, “3BrethrenG435G80, 4though I had doneG4160 nothingG3762 againstG1727 our peopleG2992 orG2228 5the customsG1485 of our 6fathersG3971, yet I was deliveredG3860 as a prisonerG1198 from JerusalemG2414 into the handsG5495 of the RomansG4514.
18And when they had 7examinedG350 me, they 8were willingG1014 to releaseG630 me becauseG1223 there was 9noG3367 groundG156 10for putting me to deathG2288.
19But when the JewsG2453 11objectedG483, I was forcedG315 to 12appealG1941 to CaesarG2541, not that I hadG2192 anyG5100 accusationG2723 againstG2723 my nationG1484.
20For thisG3778 reasonG156, thereforeG3767, I 13requestedG3870 to seeG3708 you and to speakG4354 with you, for I am wearingG4029 14thisG3778 chainG254 for 15the sakeG1752 of the hopeG1680 of IsraelG2274.”
