Acts 28:19

But because the Jews objected , I was compelled to appeal to Caesar — though I had no charge to bring against my nation .

The Jews objected, so I was compelled to make an appeal to Caesar. I certainly did not intend to bring any charge against my own people.

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