Because of this gospel, the Apostle Paul was bound with a chain and went to Rome to be tried before Caesar, the emperor in Rome. The Apostle Paul in fact had committed no crime, but because of the accusations of the Jews, he came to go all the way to Rome as a prisoner. When he arrived in Rome, the Apostle Paul was not locked up in a prison. Until his trial, on the condition that he not go beyond a set boundary, he rented a house and lived in that house. While living in that house—at that time many Jews had come and were living in Rome—he invited all the elders of those Jews, their leading men. “Paul called the leaders of the Jews together. So when they had come together, he said to them: ‘Men and brethren, though I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans, who, when they had examined me, wanted to let me go, because there was no cause for putting me to death. But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything of which to accuse my nation. For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak with you, because for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain’” (Acts 28:17–20). With a heart that longed for the nation of Israel to receive salvation before God, so that the people of that nation would truly be saved, the Apostle Paul preached the gospel to the Jews, and as a result he truly came to be in the form of a criminal bound with a chain.
