But, after the lapse of two years, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and, wishing to gain popularity with the Jews, he left Paul a prisoner.

And, as they were staying there for several days, Festus laid Paul's case before the King. "There is a man here," he said, "left a prisoner by Felix,

For it seems to me absurd to send a prisoner, without at the same time stating the charges made against him."

Three days after our arrival, Paul invited the leading Jews to meet him; and, when they came, he spoke to them as follows: "Brothers, although I had done nothing hostile to the interests of our nation or to our ancestral customs, yet I was sent from Jerusalem as a prisoner, and handed over to the Romans.

But throughout my body I see a different law, one which is in conflict with the law accepted by my reason, and which endeavors to make me a prisoner to that law of Sin which exists throughout my body.

From Paul, now a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and from Timothy, a Brother.

Yet the claims of love make me prefer to plead with you--yes, even me, Paul, though I am an ambassador for Christ Jesus and, now a prisoner for him as well.

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Jesus, the Christ, for the sake of you Gentiles--

But, on going out, that same servant came upon one of his fellow-servants who owed him ten pounds. Seizing him by the throat, he said 'Pay what you owe me.'

Thereupon his fellow-servant threw himself on the ground and begged for mercy. 'Have patience with me,' he said, 'and I will pay you.'

When his fellow-servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and went to their master and laid the whole matter before him.

But, if any one disowns me before his fellow men, I, too, will disown him before my Father who is in Heaven.

"Listen carefully to my words. For the Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into the hands of his fellow men."

Give my greeting to Prisca and Aquila, my fellow-workers in the Cause of Christ Jesus,

To Urban, our fellow-worker in the Cause of Christ, and to my dear friend Stachys;

Timothy, my fellow-worker, sends you his greetings, and Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my countrymen, send theirs.
