Acts 24:25–27 · Berean Standard Bible

25 As Paul expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “You may go for now. When I find the time, I will call for you.”

26 At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him.

27 After two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
