Context Readings

Paul Before Felix And Drusilla

25 And as he discussed the matters of doing right, and [maintaining] self control and the coming judgment, Felix became terrified and answered, "Go on away for now; I will call you back when it is convenient for me." 26 He had hoped, along with everything else, that he would receive money from Paul, so he sent for him more frequently and had discussions with him. 27 So, Felix allowed Paul to remain in chains, because he wanted to gain favor with the Jews [during that period of time]. Two years passed and Felix was succeeded by Portius Festus.
