In context
20Or let these men themselves say what crime they found when I stood before the Sanhedrin, 21unless it was that one sentence I shouted as I stood among them: ‘It is over the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’” 22Felix, who was rather well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing. “When the commander Lysias comes down,” he said, “I will decide your case.” 23He ordered the centurion to keep Paul in custody, but to allow him some freedom and to let none of his own people be kept from seeing to his needs. 24Some days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, sent for Paul and listened to him speak about faith in Jesus Christ.
