Felix Procrastinates

22 But when Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of the aWay, he adjourned the proceedings and said, “When bLysias the commander comes down, I will make a decision on your case.”

24 And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the afaith in Christ.  
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.
