New Testament
Felix
Antonius Felix was the Roman procurator of Judea who presided over the trial of the apostle Paul.
As a Roman governor, Felix held Paul in custody for two years in Caesarea, hoping for a bribe rather than pursuing justice. Despite hearing the gospel from Paul, he remained unmoved by the message of righteousness and judgment. He was eventually succeeded by Porcius Festus, leaving Paul still imprisoned.
