Acts 24:22-27

22ThenG1161 FelixG5344, who was well informedG199G1492 aboutG4012 theG3588 WayG3598, adjourned the hearingG306G846 and saidG2036, “WhenG3752 LysiasG3079 theG3588 commanderG5506 comesG2597, I will decideG1231 your caseG3588G2596G4771.” 23He orderedG1299 theG3588 centurionG1543 to keep Paul under guardG5083G846, but to allow himG2192 some freedomG425 andG2532 permitG3367G2967 hisG846 friends to ministerG5256 to hisG846 needs.

24AfterG3326 severalG1161G5100 daysG2250, FelixG5344 returnedG3854 withG4862 his wifeG1135 DrusillaG1409, who wasG1510 a JewessG2453. He sent forG3343 PaulG3972 andG2532 listened toG191 himG846 speak aboutG4012 faithG4102 inG1519 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 25As Paul expoundedG1256 onG4012 righteousnessG1343, self-controlG1466, andG2532 theG3588 comingG3195 judgmentG2917, FelixG5344 becameG1096 frightenedG1719 and saidG611, “You may goG4198G2192 forG3588 nowG3568. When I findG3335 the timeG2540, I will call forG3333 youG4771.” 26At the same timeG260G2532, he was hopingG1679 thatG3754 PaulG3972 would offerG1325 himG846 a bribeG5536. SoG1352 he sent forG3343 Paul frequentlyG4437 and talkedG3656 with himG846.

27After two yearsG1333 had passedG4137, FelixG5344 was succeeded byG2983G1240 PorciusG4201 FestusG5347. AndG5037 wishingG2309 to do the Jews a favorG2698G5485G3588G2453, FelixG5344 leftG2641 PaulG3972 in prisonG1210.
