Commentary on Acts 24:27
Felix's replacement by Porcius Festus after 'two years' ended Paul's Caesarean custody's first phase. Felix's final act - leaving Paul bound 'willing to shew the Jews a pleasure' - epitomized political expediency over justice. This injustice, though frustrating, served God's purpose by keeping Paul in Caesarea where he would appeal to Caesar, ultimately reaching Rome as prophesied.
