Acts 28:19

English Standard Version 2016

But because the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar—though I had no charge to bring against my nation.

See the chapter Copy

And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”

But I found that he had done nothing deserving death. And as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to go ahead and send him.

But when Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of the emperor, I ordered him to be held until I could send him to Caesar.”

Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.
