Acts 24:24-27

24But some days later Felix arrived with Drusilla, his 1wife who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him speak about 2faith in Christ Jesus.

25But as he was discussing 3righteousness, 4self-control and 5the judgment to come, Felix became frightened and said, “Go away for the present, and when I find time I will summon you.”

26At the same time too, he was hoping that 6money would be given him by Paul; therefore he also used to send for him quite often and converse with him.

27But after two years had passed, Felix 7was succeeded by Porcius 8Festus, and 9wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul 10imprisoned.
