Commentary on Acts 28:19
I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar (ἠναγκάσθην ἐπικαλέσασθαι Καίσαρα)—The Greek 'anankazo' (compelled) indicates Paul had no alternative when Jewish opposition threatened his life. His clarification—not that I had ought to accuse my nation of—shows he appealed for self-preservation, not to prosecute his people. This reveals Paul's ongoing love for Israel despite their hostility (Romans 9:1-3). The appeal exercised his Roman citizenship rights while fulfilling God's promise that he would 'bear my name before... kings' (Acts 9:15).
