Acts 24:21-26

Worrell(i) 21 except concerning this one voice with which I cried aloud, standing among them, 'Concerning a resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you this day.' 22 But Felix put them off, knowing more accurately the things concerning the Way, saying, "When Lysias the chief captain comes down, I will determine your matters;" 23 giving orders to the centurion that he should be held, and should have indulgence, and to prevent none of his friends from ministering to him. 24 And, after some days, Felix, having come with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus. 25 And, as he was reasoning about righteousness, continence, and the judgment to come, Felix, becoming terrified, answered, "Go your way for the present; and, when I obtain a suitable opportunity, I will call for you;" 26 at the same time also hoping that money would be given to him by Paul; wherefore, also, sending for him more frequently, he conversed with him.
