They stayed there many days. Festus told the king about Paul’s case. Festus said, “There is a man that Felix left in prison.
Get some horses for Paul to ride. He must be taken to Governor Felix safely.”
The soldiers on horses entered Caesarea and gave the letter to the governor (Felix). Then they gave Paul to him.
But after two years, Porcius Festus became governor. So Felix was no longer governor. But Felix left Paul in prison, because Felix wanted to do something to please the Jews.
