Since they were staying there several days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a man here who was left in prison by Felix.
Also provide mounts for Paul to ride and take him safely to Felix the governor.”
When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they presented Paul also before him.
After two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and since he wanted to grant the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
