44:024:022 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
44:024:023 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have
liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to
minister or come unto him.
44:024:024 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife
Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him
concerning the faith in Christ.
44:024:025 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment
to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this
time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
44:024:026 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.
44:024:027 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and
Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
44:025:001 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days
he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
44:025:002 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him
against Paul, and besought him,
44:025:003 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to
Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
44:025:004 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and
that he himself would depart shortly thither.
