Acts 28:17-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 28
17
After three days Paul called together those who were the leading men of the Jews, and when they came together, he
began
saying to them, 'Brothers, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers,
yet
I was handed over to the Romans as a prisoner from Jerusalem.
18
And when they had examined me, they were willing to release me because there were no grounds for putting me to death.
19
But when the Jews objected, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had any accusation against my nation.
20
For this reason, therefore, I requested to see you and to speak with you, since I am wearing this chain for the sake of the hope of Israel.'
21
They said to him, 'We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor has any of the brothers come here and reported or spoken anything bad about you.
22
But we desire to hear from you what your views are; for regarding this sect, it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere.'
23
When they had set a day for Paul,
people
came to him at his lodging in large numbers; and he was explaining to them by solemnly testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, from both the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
King James Version
Chapter 28
17
And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18
Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
19
But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
20
For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
21
And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
22
But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
23
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

Chapter 28
17
After three days he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered he said to them: "Brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors, I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18
After they examined me, they wanted to release me, since there was no reason for the death penalty in my case.
19
Because the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar; even though I had no charge to bring against my people.
20
For this reason I’ve asked to see you and speak to you. In fact, it is for the hope of Israel that I’m wearing this chain."
21
Then they said to him, "We haven’t received any letters about you from Judea. None of the brothers has come and reported or spoken anything evil about you.
22
But we want to hear what your views are, since we know that people everywhere are speaking against this sect."
23
After arranging a day with him, many came to him at his lodging. From dawn to dusk he expounded and testified about the kingdom of God. He tried to persuade them about Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
New Living Translation
Chapter 28
17
Three days after Paul’s arrival, he called together the local Jewish leaders. He said to them, 'Brothers, I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Roman government, even though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors.
18
The Romans tried me and wanted to release me, because they found no cause for the death sentence.
19
But when the Jewish leaders protested the decision, I felt it necessary to appeal to Caesar, even though I had no desire to press charges against my own people.
20
I asked you to come here today so we could get acquainted and so I could explain to you that I am bound with this chain because I believe that the hope of Israel — the Messiah — has already come.'
21
They replied, 'We have had no letters from Judea or reports against you from anyone who has come here.
22
But we want to hear what you believe, for the only thing we know about this movement is that it is denounced everywhere.'
23
So a time was set, and on that day a large number of people came to Paul’s lodging. He explained and testified about the Kingdom of God and tried to persuade them about Jesus from the Scriptures. Using the law of Moses and the books of the prophets, he spoke to them from morning until evening.

But because the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar — though I had no charge to bring against my nation.
20
For this reason, therefore, I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am wearing this chain."

When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.

Chapter 28
17
Three days later he called together the local Jewish leaders. When they had assembled, Paul said to them: "My brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or against the customs of our ancestors, I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.
18
They examined me and wanted to release me, because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.
19
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.
20
For this reason I have asked to see you and talk with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain."
21
They replied, "We have not received any letters from Judea concerning you, and none of our people who have come from there has reported or said anything bad about you.
22
But we want to hear what your views are, for we know that people everywhere are talking against this sect."
23
They arranged to meet Paul on a certain day, and came in even larger numbers to the place where he was staying. He witnessed to them from morning till evening, explaining about the kingdom of God, and from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets he tried to persuade them about Jesus.
