Acts 24:22-27 - Paul Held Awaiting Trial
22 When Felix heard these things, he deferred them, for he knew very well of that way and said, "When Lysias the captain is come, I will know the utmost of your matters." 23 And he commanded an under-captain to keep Paul, and that he should have rest, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister unto him, or to come unto him.
24 And after a certain days came Felix, and his wife Drusilla which was a Jewess, and called forth Paul, and heard him of the faith which is toward Christ. 25 And as he preached of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come; Felix trembled, and answered, "Thou hast done enough at this time: depart. When I have a convenient time, I will send for thee." 26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul that he might loose him, wherefore he called him the oftener, and communed with him.
27 But after two years came Festus Porcius into Felix's room: and Felix, willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul in prison bound.
