    15When I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him, requesting a judgment against him.

    16I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over anyone before the accused has met their accusers face to face and has had an opportunity to defend himself against the charges.

    17When they came here, I did not delay, but the next day took my seat at the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in.

    18When the accusers stood up, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected.

    19Instead, they had some matters of dispute with him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus, who was dead, but whom Paul claimed to be alive.

    20Since I was at a loss as to how to investigate these matters, I asked if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there regarding these charges.

    12My accusers did not find me disputing with anyone in the temple, or stirring up a crowd in the synagogues, or anywhere in the city.

    13Nor can they prove to you the charges they are now bringing against me.

    14But I admit this to you: I worship the God of our ancestors according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is in the Law and written in the Prophets.

    15I have the same hope in God as they do, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

    16In this, I strive to always keep my conscience clear before God and people.

    17After three days, Paul called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered, he said to them, 'Brothers, though I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors, I was handed over as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.'

    18They examined me and wanted to release me because there was no basis for a death sentence against me.

    19But when the Jews objected, I felt compelled to appeal to Caesar—not because I had any accusation to bring against my own people.

    20For this reason, I have asked to see you and to speak with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.
