Acts 24:22-27 - Paul Held Awaiting Trial
22 Then Felix, who had a fairly clear conception of the principles involved in The Way, adjourned the trial, saying to the Jews, "When Lysias, the colonel, comes down here, I will carefully look into your case." 23 He ordered the captain to keep Paul in custody but to let him have freedom and not to prevent his friends from showing him kindness.
24 Some days later, Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him talk about faith in Christ Jesus. 25 But as he continued to talk about uprightness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became alarmed, and said, "For the present you may go, but when I find a good opportunity, I will send for you." 26 At the same time he was hoping to get money from Paul, and so he kept on sending for him and talking with him.
27 But at the close of two whole years Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and as he wanted to gratify the Jews, Felix left Paul still in prison.
