Acts 24:22-27 - Paul Held Awaiting Trial
22 And when Felix heard these things, he put them off, saying, After I have been more accurately informed concerning this way, when Lysias the tribune cometh down, I will take full cognisance of your affair. 23 And he commanded the centurion to keep Paul, and let him have liberty, and to hinder none of his friends from assisting or coming to him.
24 And after some days, Felix coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. 25 And as he reasoned concerning justice, temperance, and the judgment to come, Felix being terrified, answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. 26 And he hoped also that money would have been given him by Paul to release him; therefore he sent for him the oftner, and discoursed with him.
27 But after two years, Felix was succeeded by Portius Festus: and Felix desiring to gratify the Jews, left Paul bound.
