Acts 24:25-27

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁵ But as he continued to argue about uprightness, purity of life (the control of the passions), and the judgment to come, Felix became alarmed and terrified and said, Go away for the present; when I have a convenient opportunity, I will send for you.

²⁶ At the same time he hoped to get money from Paul, for which reason he continued to send for him and was in his company and conversed with him often.

²⁷ But when two years had gone by, Felix was succeeded in office by Porcius Festus; and wishing to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul still a prisoner in chains.
