Felix Procrastinates
22 But when Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of the (B)Way, he adjourned the proceedings and said, “When (C)Lysias the commander comes down, I will make a decision on your case.” 23 So he commanded the centurion to keep Paul and to let him have liberty, and (D)told him not to forbid any of his friends to provide for or visit him.
24 And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the (E)faith 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 (F)money would be given him by Paul, [a]that he might release him. Therefore he sent for him more often and conversed with him.
