## Acts 28:17-21 in Context (Verses 14–24 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/acts/28/14) Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/acts/28/15) And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/acts/28/16) And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/acts/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 ](/kjv/acts/28/18) Who, when they had examined me, would have let *me* go, because there was no cause of death in me.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/acts/28/19) But when the Jews spake against *it*, I was constrained to appeal unto Cæsar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/acts/28/20) 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 ](/kjv/acts/28/21) And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judæa concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/acts/28/22) 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 ](/kjv/acts/28/23) 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.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/acts/28/24) And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
