Paul Preaches in Rome

¹⁷ Three days later Paul called a meeting of the local Jewish leaders. When they came, Paul spoke to them. He said, “My brothers, I have done nothing against our people. I have also done nothing against what our people of long ago practiced. But I was arrested in Jerusalem. I was handed over to the Romans. ¹⁸ They questioned me. And they wanted to let me go. They saw I wasn’t guilty of any crime worthy of death.
