Acts 28:20

---

← Acts 28:19	Acts 28:20 (KJV)	Acts 28:21 →
But when the Jews spake against [it], I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.	For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see [you], and to speak with [you]: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.	And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
