Acts 24:25-27

The Voice

²⁵ As Paul spoke of justice, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became fearful.

²⁶ They had a number of conversations of this sort; but Felix actually was hoping that, by having frequent contact with him, Paul might offer him a bribe. ²⁷ As a favor to the Jews, he did nothing to resolve the case and left Paul in prison for two years. Then Felix completed his assignment as governor, and Porcius Festus succeeded him.
