Acts 24:22-27
22But FelixG5344, 1havingG3609 quiteG199 accurateG199 knowledgeG3609 aboutG4012 23the WayG3598, adjournedG306 them, sayingG3004, “WhenG3752 LysiasG3079 the commanderG5506 comesG2597 downG2597, I will decideG1231 your caseG3588G2596.” 23He gaveG1299 ordersG1299 to the centurionG1543 for 4Paul to be 5keptG5083 inG5083 custodyG5083 and yet 6haveG2192 some freedomG425, and not to preventG2967 anyG3367 of 7his friendsG2398 from providingG5256 forG5256 his needsG5256.
24NowG1161 someG5100 daysG2250 laterG3326 FelixG5344 arrivedG3854 with DrusillaG1409 his 8wifeG1135, who was JewishG2453, and he sentG3343 for PaulG3972 and heardG191 him speak aboutG4012 9faithG4102 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 25But as he was discussingG1256 10righteousnessG1343, 11self-controlG1466, and 12the judgmentG2917 toG3195 comeG3195, FelixG5344 becameG1096 frightenedG1719 and respondedG611, “GoG4198 awayG4198 for nowG3568G2192, and when I haveG3335 an opportunityG2540, I will summonG3333 you.” 26At the sameG260 timeG260 he was alsoG2532 hopingG1679 that 13moneyG5536 would be givenG1325 to him by PaulG3972; thereforeG1352 he alsoG2532 used to sendG3343 for him quiteG4437 oftenG4437 and talkG3656 with him. 27But after twoG1333 yearsG1333 had passedG4137, FelixG5344 14was succeededG1240 by PorciusG4201 15FestusG5347; and FelixG5344, 16wantingG2309 to doG2698 the JewsG2453 a favorG5485, leftG2641 PaulG3972 17imprisonedG1210.
