Acts 28:20 in Context — Acts 28
18 Après m’avoir interrogé, ils voulaient me relâcher, parce qu’il n’y avait en moi rien qui méritât la mort.
19 Mais les Juifs s’y opposèrent, et j’ai été forcé d’en appeler à César, n’ayant du reste aucun dessein d’accuser ma nation.
20 Voilà pourquoi j’ai demandé à vous voir et à vous parler; car c’est à cause de l’espérance d’Israël que je porte cette chaîne.
21 Ils lui répondirent: Nous n’avons reçu de Judée aucune lettre à ton sujet, et il n’est venu aucun frère qui ait rapporté ou dit du mal de toi.
22 Mais nous voudrions apprendre de toi ce que tu penses, car nous savons que cette secte rencontre partout de l’opposition.
