While they were staying there many days, Festus explained Paul’s case to the king to get his opinion, saying, “There is a man left here as a prisoner by Felix.
and provide mounts for Paul to ride so that he may be brought safely to Felix the governor.”
When the horsemen came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
After two years had passed, Porcius Festus succeeded Felix, and because he wanted to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
