Acts 28:20

Paul And The Jewish Community In Rome

¹⁹ But when the Jews made protest against it, I had to put my cause into Caesar's hands; not because I have anything to say against my nation. ²⁰ But for this reason I sent for you, to see and have talk with you: for because of the hope of Israel I am in these chains. ²¹ And they said to him, We have not had letters from Judaea about you, and no one of the brothers has come to us here to give an account or say any evil about you.
