23 He ordered the centurion for him to be guarded and to have some freedom, and in no way to prevent any of his own people from serving him.
24 And after some days, when Felix arrived with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and listened to him concerning faith in Christ Jesus.
25 And while he was discussing about righteousness and self control and the judgment that is to come, Felix became afraid and replied, “Go away for the present, and when I have an opportunity, I will summon you.”
26 At 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 talked with him.
27 And when two years had passed, Felix received as successor Porcius Festus. And because he wanted to do a favor for the Jews, Felix left Paul behind as a prisoner.
