Since they were staying there for a number of days, Festus told the king about Paul’s case. Festus said, “Felix left a man here in prison.
Provide an animal for Paul to ride, and take him safely to Governor Felix.”
When the soldiers arrived in the city of Caesarea with Paul, they delivered the letter to the governor and handed Paul over to him.
Two years passed. Then Porcius Festus took Felix’s place. (Since Felix wanted to do the Jews a favor, he left Paul in prison.)
