1. THE TRIAL BEFORE FELIX, 24: 24-28.
V. 24. Felix, Procurator
oc irato of Judaea
and Samaria,
he had eb-
Rained frOriginalleedom tthrough ek eteheinfluence
of the mother of Claudius, the Emper-
r, and he was the first freed man who
ad held such an office in the Empire.
The Roman historian, Tacitus, says of
la
that, "With all
manner lerof cruelty
and lust he exercised the power of a
king in the temper of a slave," Felix
had married thrice and his present
wife was a Jewess, who naturally
ould be anxious to see and hear one
'whose character had been so much
discussed.
V. 25. It is possible that Felix had
taken some personal interest in the
movement which was so .directly asso-
ciated with the religions life of his
wife's people, but Paul saw that such
interest was very superficial, and that
the real weakness of his judge lay in
his character. It is suggestive that
he makes no mention of Christ, as was
tho usual case in his sermons, but he

that he had to bid Paul cease from his

might arise.
V. 26. Here a further light is cast
upon the character of Felix. It was
;no unusual thing for prisoners to
bribe their judges, and Felix hoped
that this strange pian (night have
some special source of revenue.
V. 27. Probably in A.D. 59, Porcius
Festus took the
place
d ntly thevewano just case why
Paul should not be released, except
that it might cause unpleasantness
among the Jewish authorities. Festus
is not well known to us from secular
history, but evidently he had a better
sense of justice than his predecessor.
Shortly after his weverwsarrival' at Caas not an j ,a ea
he went up to Jerusalem, and was at
once urged by the Jews to bring Paul
for trial. He was suddenly recalled
• to Ctesarea beeause of the visit of
Agrippa, but he determined to attend
to this case, and, on the day after his
return, he takes up the matter of
Paul's trial and suggests that Paul
should consent to go up to Jerusalem.
f "Wilt thou go to Jerusalem and stand
for your trial before mom.?" Now Ro-
man citizens were not compelled to
take such a trial, and Paul is indig-
nant over their subterfuges, and he
