Acts 24:24-27
24Now some days later Felix arrived with Drusilla his 1wife, who was Jewish, and he 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 responded, “Go away for now, and when I have an opportunity, I will summon you.”
26At the same time he was also hoping that 6money would be given to him by Paul; therefore he also used to send for him quite often and talk with him.
27But after two years had passed, Felix 7was succeeded by Porcius 8Festus; and Felix, 9wanting to do the Jews a favor, left Paul 10imprisoned.
