'Appeal to Caesar' in the Bible

If, therefore, I am a wrong-doer, and have perpetrated anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but, if there is nothing in the things of which these accuse me, no one can deliver me as a favor to them. I appeal to Caesar."

But, when the Jews spake against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar; not that I have anything of which to accuse my nation.
