Apostlenes gjerninger 28,17

PaulJerusalem

15 Brødrene og søstrene der, som hadde hørt om vår ankomst, reiste så langt som til Forum Appii og De tre vertshusene for å møte oss. Da han så dem, takket Paulus Gud og tok mot til seg.

16 Da vi ankom Roma, fikk Paulus lov til å bo for seg selv, med en soldat til å vokte ham.

Tre dager senere kalte Paulus sammen de lokale jødiske lederne. Da de hadde samlet seg, sa han til dem: «Brødre, selv om jeg ikke har gjort noe mot vårt folk eller våre forfedres skikker, ble jeg arrestert i Jerusalem og overgitt til romerne.

18 De undersøkte meg og hadde til hensikt å løslate meg, da jeg ikke var skyldig i noen forbrytelse som fortjente døden.

19 Men da jødene protesterte, ble jeg tvunget til å anke til keiseren, ikke fordi jeg hadde noen anklage mot mitt folk.
