Acts 28:16 in Context — Acts 28

14 où nous trouvâmes des frères qui nous prièrent de passer sept jours avec eux. Et c’est ainsi que nous allâmes à Rome.

15 De Rome vinrent à notre rencontre, jusqu’au Forum d’Appius et aux Trois Tavernes, les frères qui avaient entendu parler de nous. Paul, en les voyant, rendit grâces à Dieu, et prit courage.

16 Lorsque nous fûmes arrivés à Rome, on permit à Paul de demeurer en son particulier, avec un soldat qui le gardait.

17 Au bout de trois jours, Paul convoqua les principaux des Juifs; et, quand ils furent réunis, il leur adressa ces paroles: Hommes frères, sans avoir rien fait contre le peuple ni contre les coutumes de nos pères, j’ai été mis en prison à Jérusalem et livré de là entre les mains des Romains.

18 Après m’avoir interrogé, ils voulaient me relâcher, parce qu’il n’y avait en moi rien qui méritât la mort.
