25:9-12 Why did Paul appeal to Caesar?

Paul knew that if he went to Jerusalem he would be killed before he could face his accusers (CP 25:1-3).

Paul wanted to go to Rome to preach the gospel, which Christ promised he would (CP 23:11).

God's purpose for Paul had to be fulfilled in Rome, not Jerusalem
