Acts 24:27

"But after two years had passed, Felix was succeeded" He was removed from power because he was accused of misgovernment by the Jews. He was called to Rome to stand trial before Nero and barely escaped execution because of the influence of his brother and was banished to Gaul, where he died. Drusilla followed him into exile. This was Felix's window of opportunity to be saved and he refused to open it. "Porcius Festus" This name is pronounced pour shih us fess tuss. He became the Roman governor of Judea in A.D. 60. "Wishing to do the Jews. favor, Felix left Paul imprisoned" That is, by leaving Paul in prison Felix hoped that the Jews would tone down their accusations against him. Thus, Felix not only coveted money, but he also coveted glory, and fame and in the end the only thing that mattered to him was his own skin. He is the type of person that Satan was talking about in the book of Job, the kind of man that will do anything to save his own skin.
