Acts 28:17-20

17 And it came to pass, that after three days, Paul called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them, Men, brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

18 Who when they had examined me, would have let [me] go, because there was no cause of death in me.

19 But when the Jews spoke against [it], I was constrained to appeal to Cesar; not that I had aught to accuse my nation of.

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.
