Acts 24:21-23

Living Bible

²¹except that I said one thing I shouldn’t^[a] when I shouted out, ‘I am here before the Council to defend myself for believing that the dead will rise again!’”

²²Felix, who knew Christians didn’t go around starting riots,^[b] told the Jews to wait for the arrival of Lysias, the garrison commander, and then he would decide the case. ²³He ordered Paul to prison but instructed the guards to treat him gently and not to forbid any of his friends from visiting him or bringing him gifts to make his stay more comfortable.
