Acts 28:19

Because the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar; it was not as though I had any accusation against my nation.

Then Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”

But when Paul appealed to be held for trial by the Emperor, I ordered him to be kept in custody until I could send him to Caesar.”

Now I realized that he had not done anything deserving of death, but when he himself appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

But Paul said: “I am standing at Caesar’s tribunal, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as even you can see very well.

Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for His wrath. For it is written: Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay, says the Lord.

He did not commit sin,
and no deceit was found in His mouth;

But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for His wrath. For it is written: Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay,
