Acts 24:22-27 - Paul Held Awaiting Trial
22 But Felix, having an accurate knowledge of the matters relating to this way [of belief], put them off, and said, When Lysias the chief captain cometh down, I will thoroughly examine your case. 23 He also gave orders to the centurion to guard him, and let him have indulgence, and not to forbid any of his friends to do him service.
24 And after some days, Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. 25 And as he discoursed of righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment to come, Felix became alarmed, and answered, Go thy way for the present; and when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. 26 He hoped also that money would be given him by Paul; on which account he sent for him the oftener, and conversed with him.
27 But after two years Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and Felix, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, left Paul bound.
