Acts 24:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 And as he disputed of righteousness and temperance, and of the judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time, and when I have convenient time, I will call for thee.
26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
27 [a]When two years were expired, Porcius Festus came into Felix’s room, and Felix willing to [b]get favor of the Jews, left Paul bound.
