Acts 24:23-26 He gave orders to the officer to have Paul kept in custody but to allow him some freedom and not to prevent any of his own people from rendering him any service.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ He gave orders to the officer to have Paul kept in custody but to allow him some freedom and not to prevent any of his own people from rendering him any service. ²⁴ Some days later Felix arrived with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and heard what he had to say about faith in Christ Jesus; ²⁵ but when he argued about morality, self-mastery, and the future judgment, Felix grew uneasy. "You may go for the present," he said; "when I can find a moment, I will send for you" ²⁶ (though at the same time he hoped Paul would give him a bribe). So he did send for him pretty frequently and conversed with him.
