Acts 24:23-26 He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard, but to allow him some freedom and permit his friends to minister to his needs.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard, but to allow him some freedom and permit his friends to minister to his needs. ²⁴ Some days later, Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him talk about faith in Christ Jesus. ²⁵ And as he reasoned about righteousness, self control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid, and answered: Go away for now. When I have a convenient time I will call for you. ²⁶ At the same time he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him.
