Since the king was staying there for several days, Festus presented Paul's case to him, saying, “There is a man who was left as a prisoner by Felix.
Provide mounts so that they may set Paul on one and bring him safely to Felix the governor.”
When the horsemen came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they presented Paul to him as well.
But after two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in prison.
