Acts 24:24-27
Christian Standard Bible
24 Several days later, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and listened to him on the subject of faith in Christ Jesus. 25 Now as he spoke about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come,(A) Felix became afraid and replied, “Leave for now, but when I have an opportunity I’ll call for you.” 26 At the same time he was also hoping that Paul would offer him money.[a] So he sent for him quite often and conversed with him.
27 After two years had passed, Porcius Festus(B) succeeded Felix, and because Felix wanted to do the Jews a favor,(C) he left Paul in prison.(D)

24 And after some days, when[a] 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[b] he was discussing about righteousness and self control and the judgment that is to come, Felix became afraid and[c] replied, “Go away for the present, and when I[d] 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[e] talked with him. 27 And when[f] two years had passed, Felix received as successor Porcius Festus. And because he[g] wanted to do a favor for the Jews, Felix left Paul behind as a prisoner.[h]
