Acts 24:27
Compare all
25 Now 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 Meanwhile he also hoped that amoney would be given him by Paul,1 that he might release him. Therefore he sent for him more often and conversed with him.  
27 But after two years Porcius Festus succeeded Felix; and Felix, awanting to do the Jews a favor, left Paul bound.

Acts 24:27

But after two years - After St. Paul had been two years a prisoner, Felix desiring to gratify the Jews, left Paul bound - Thus men of the world, to gratify one another, stretch forth their hands to the things of God! Yet the wisdom of Felix did not profit him, did not satisfy the Jews at all. Their accusations followed him to Rome, and had utterly ruined him, but for the interest which his brother Pallas had with Nero.
