Paul Held Awaiting Trial

Paul Held Awaiting Trial

22But Felix, because he[fn] understood thefacts concerning the Way more accurately, put them off, saying, “When Lysias the military tribune comes down, I will decide your case.”[fn] 23He ordered[fn] the centurionfor him to be guarded and to have some freedom, and in no way to prevent any of his own people[fn]from serving him.

24And after some days, when[fn] Felix arrived with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and listened to him concerning faith in Christ Jesus. 25And while[fn] he was discussing about righteousness and self control and the judgment that is to come, Felix became afraidand[fn] replied, “Go away for the present, andwhen I[fn] have an opportunity, I will summon you.” 26At the same time he was also hoping that money would be given to him by Paul. For this reason also he sent for him as often as possible and[fn] talked with him. 27And when[fn] two years had passed, Felix received as successor Porcius Festus. Andbecause he[fn] wanted to do a favor for the Jews, Felix left Paul behindas a prisoner.[fn]
