Acts 24:22-27 - Paul Held Awaiting Trial
22 When Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them saying, When Lysias the commander comes here I will decide your case. 23 He commanded a centurion to keep Paul. Allow him some freedom of custody and that some of his people should come and minister to him.
24 A few days later Felix arrived with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him concerning faith in Christ. 25 He reasoned about righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come. Felix trembled, and answered: Go your way for now. When I have time I will send for you. 26 He hoped that Paul would give him money to free him. He sent for him frequently and conversed with him.
27 After two years Porcius Festus succeeded Felix. Felix was willing to show the Jews a favor. He left Paul in prison.
