The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
17 post tertium autem diem convocavit primos Iudaeorum cumque convenissent dicebat eis ego viri fratres nihil adversus plebem faciens aut morem paternum vinctus ab Hierosolymis traditus sum in manus Romanorum
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 qui cum interrogationem de me habuissent voluerunt me dimittere eo quod nulla causa esset mortis in me
18
They examined me and wanted to release me, because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.
19 contradicentibus autem Iudaeis coactus sum appellare Caesarem non quasi gentem meam habens aliquid accusare
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 propter hanc igitur causam rogavi vos videre et adloqui propter spem enim Israhel catena hac circumdatus sum
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 at illi dixerunt ad eum nos neque litteras accepimus de te a Iudaea neque adveniens aliquis fratrum nuntiavit aut locutus est quid de te malum
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 rogamus autem a te audire quae sentis nam de secta hac notum est nobis quia ubique ei contradicitur
22
But we want to hear what your views are, for we know that people everywhere are talking against this sect.”
