Acts 28:19

New International Version

The Jews objected, so I was compelled to make an appeal to Caesar. I certainly did not intend to bring any charge against my own people.

See the chapter Copy

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.

But when Paul made his appeal to be held over for the Emperor’s decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar.”

I found he had done nothing deserving of death, but because he made his appeal to the Emperor I decided to send him to Rome.

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