Context Readings

Paul Before Felix And Drusilla

23 He ordered the centurion to guard Paul but to let him have some freedom and not to keep any of his friends from caring for his needs. 24 Some days later, Felix arrived with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He sent for Paul and listened to him talk about faith in Jesus the Messiah. 25 As Paul talked about righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became afraid and said, "For the present you may go. When I get a chance, I will send for you again."
