And since they remained there for many days, Festus spoke to the king about Paul, saying: "A certain man was left behind as a prisoner by Felix.
And prepare beasts of burden to carry Paul, so that they may lead him safely to Felix, the governor."
And when they had arrived at Caesarea and had delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul before him.
Then, when two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Portius Festus. And since Felix wanted to show particular favor to the Jews, he left Paul behind as a prisoner.
