Acts 24:22-27
22But FelixG5344, 1havingG3609 a moreG199 exactG199 knowledgeG3609 aboutG4012 2the WayG3598, putG306 them offG306, sayingG3004, “WhenG3752 LysiasG3079 the 3commanderG5506 comesG2597 downG2597, I will decideG1231 your caseG3588G2596.” 23ThenG2532 he gaveG1299 ordersG1299 to the centurionG1543 for him to be 4keptG5083 in custodyG5083 and yet 5haveG2192 some freedomG425, and not to preventG2967 anyG3367 of 6his friendsG2398 from ministeringG5256 to him.
24But someG5100 daysG2250 laterG3326 FelixG5344 arrivedG3854 with DrusillaG1409, his 7wifeG1135 who was a JewessG2453, and sentG3343 for PaulG3972 and heardG191 him speak aboutG4012 8faithG4102 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 25But as he was discussingG1256 9righteousnessG1343, 10self-controlG1466 and 11the judgmentG2917 to comeG3195, FelixG5344 becameG1096 frightenedG1719 and saidG611, “GoG4198 awayG4198 for the presentG3568, and when I findG3335 timeG2540 I will summonG3333 you.” 26At the sameG260 timeG260 tooG2532, he was hopingG1679 that 12moneyG5536 would be givenG1325 him by PaulG3972; thereforeG1352 he alsoG2532 used to sendG3343 for him quiteG4437 oftenG4437 and converseG3656 with him. 27But after twoG1333 yearsG1333 had passedG4137, FelixG5344 13was succeededG1240 by PorciusG4201 14FestusG5347, and 15wishingG2309 to doG2698 the JewsG2453 a favorG5485, FelixG5344 leftG2641 PaulG3972 16imprisonedG1210.
