Paul Speaks Repeatedly to Felix

24:24 Some days later, when Felix85 arrived with his wife Drusilla,86 who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him speak87 about faith in Christ Jesus.88 24:25 While Paul89 was discussing90 righteousness, self-control,91 and the coming judgment, Felix92 became93 frightened and said, “Go away for now, and when I have an opportunity,94 I will send for you.” 24:26 At the same time he was also hoping that Paul would give him money,95 and for this reason he sent for Paul96 as often as possible97 and talked98 with him. 24:27 After two years99 had passed, Porcius Festus100 succeeded Felix,101 and because he wanted to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.102
