It did not take long for Ananias the high priest and the elders to come down to Cæsarea — only five days. They also engaged the services of an orator (one who can speak well) named Tertullus. He called Paul “a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition.” Any conspiracy against the Roman government was a capital offense. These charges were not true. In his defense, Paul replied that he went to Jerusalem to worship, not to profane the temple, and that he believed all things which were written in the law and in the prophets. Felix knew what Paul was talking about, for he had knowledge of the way. He told a centurion to guard Paul and give him liberty to entertain his relatives. Felix often heard what Paul said about “righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come” and trembled. Don’t you think that Paul also told him how to escape the judgment to come by receiving the Lord Jesus as his personal Savior?
