But when the Iewes spake contrary, I was constrained to appeale vnto Cesar, not because I had ought to accuse my nation of.

20 Tua ahikom, hi thu hang in noma taw kimu tu le paupui tu in hong sam ka hihi: Israel te lametna atu in thikkol thak ka thuak hi, ci hi.

And when they had appointed him a day, there came many vnto him into his lodging, to whom he expounded testifying the kingdome of God, and persuading them those things that concerne Iesus, both out of the Lawe of Moses, and out of the Prophets, from morning to night.
