Acts 24:24-27
New Living Translation
24 A few days later Felix came back with his wife, Drusilla, who was Jewish.

27 After two years went by in this way, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And because Felix wanted to gain favor with the Jewish people, he left Paul in prison.

English Standard Version
24 After some days Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, and he sent for Paul and heard him speak about (A)faith (B)in Christ Jesus. 25 And as he reasoned (C)about righteousness and self-control and the coming judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, “Go away for the present. (D)When I get an opportunity I will summon you.” 26 At the same time he hoped (E)that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often and conversed with him. 27 When two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius (F)Festus. And (G)desiring to do the Jews a favor, (H)Felix left Paul in prison.
