Since they were spending many days there, Festus discussed Paul’s case with the king. He said: “There is a man here whom Felix left as a prisoner.
Provide horses for Paul so that he may be taken safely to Governor Felix.”
When the cavalry arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and handed Paul over to him.
When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, but because Felix wanted to grant a favor to the Jews, he left Paul in prison.
