Acts 28:19

New American Bible - revised edition

But when the Jews objected, I was obliged to appeal to Caesar, even though I had no accusation to make against my own nation.

See the chapter Copy

Then he made the disciples get into the boat and precede him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.

And when Paul appealed that he be held in custody for the Emperor’s decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar.”

I found, however, that he had done nothing deserving death, and so when he appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

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