Lexham English Bible
23 He ordered[a] the centurion for him to be guarded and to have some freedom, and in no way to prevent any of his own people[b] from serving him.
24 And after some days, when[c] Felix arrived with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and listened to him concerning faith in Christ Jesus. 25 And while[d] he was discussing about righteousness and self control and the judgment that is to come, Felix became afraid and[e] replied, “Go away for the present, and when I[f] have an opportunity, I will summon you.”
