Acts 24:23-27

Goodspeed(i) 23 He ordered the officer to keep Paul in custody, but to allow him some freedom, and not to prevent his friends from looking after him. 24 Some days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, and sent for Paul and heard what he had to say about faith in Christ Jesus. 25 But as he talked of uprightness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became alarmed, and said, "You may go for the present. I will find time later to send for you." 26 At the same time he hoped to get money from Paul, and for that reason he used to send for him very often and talk with him. 27 But when two whole years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and as he wanted to gratify the Jews, Felix left Paul in prison.
