So when they had come together, he said to them: “Men <i>and</i> brethren, though I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/28-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>who, when they had examined me, wanted to let <i>me</i> go, because there was no cause for putting me to death. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/28-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>But when the <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[d]</a></span>Jews spoke against <i>it,</i> I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything of which to accuse my nation. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/28-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see <i>you</i> and speak with <i>you,</i> because for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/28-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Then they said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brethren who came reported or spoken any evil of you. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/28-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>But we desire to hear from you what you think;
