Acts 24:24-27

After some days. Drusilla was the daughter of that Herod who died at Caesarea (Acts 12:23), sister of Bernice (Acts 25:23). She had been married at age fourteen to Azizus, king of Emeza; and because of her unhappy marriage, Felix had been able to "steal her away" and make her his own wife. Her father's strange death may have had something to do with her interest in Paul and Christianity. But as Paul went on discussing. They may have expected him to argue doctrinal differences between the Law and the Way. Instead, he speaks of holy living and the coming Judgment. Felix made no attempt to live a holy life, or to control his passions. Felix was afraid. He is not resentful, but even though he is deeply stirred by all Paul is saying, he is not willing to think about it or respond to it. Many doom themselves by waiting. "Not to act, is to act!" He was hoping. He hoped Paul would buy his freedom. After two years had passed. Ramsay dates this autumn of 59 A.D. Luke's Gospel may have been written at this time with Paul's help.
