Acts 24:27 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

But after two years — After St. Paul had been two years a prisoner, Felix desiring to gratify the Jews, left Paul bound — Thus men of the world, to gratify one another, stretch forth their hands to the things of God! Yet the wisdom of Felix did not profit him, did not satisfy the Jews at all. Their accusations followed him to Rome, and had utterly ruined him, but for the interest which his brother Pallas had with Nero.

Acts 24:27

27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
