Acts 24:1-27
Paul's trial before Felix.
The high priest and some of the elders accused Paul is a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world.
Paul explained that the accuser cannot prove to you the charges they are now making against me.
Flex was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe, and wanted to grant a favor to the Jews, he left Paul in prison.
Five days after the transfer. Paul's case comes before the Roman governor, Felix.
Tertullus opens ingratiatingly for the Jewish prosecution. Paul confident of Roman justice, give a succinct summary of events. His only 'crime' concerns his belief in resurrection.
Felix adjourns the case, giving Paul limited freedom.
Paul's talk of 'justice and self-control and future judgment' is too near the bone for this pair, Drusilla, especially as Felix was hoping for a fat bribe from his prisoner.
Why?
Roman's governor like most of the man like get fat bribe from his prisoner. But Paul has not much money, he is God's servant working for save people's eternal life.
Paul is acknowledge to justice and self-control and future judgment so Drusilla like to talk with Paul.
Paul's crimes concerns his belief in resurrection, Jesus Christ. Jews didn't believe Jesus Christ.
How?
There is not righteousness and justice among people, unless he turn to the Lord, Jesus Christ. Yet no one is righteousness in the world.
