To the Jews I have done no injury , as thou very well knowest . drb @Acts:25:11 @For if I have injured them , or have committed any thing worthy of death , I refuse not to die . But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me , no man may deliver me to them : I appeal to Caesar . drb @Acts:25:12 @Then Festus having conferred with the council , answered : Hast thou appealed to Caesar ? To Caesar shalt thou go .
