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)
