Joe: Alright, so what's up with Chapter 24 of Acts?

Bible Expert: Well, Joe, Acts 24 is about Paul being brought before the Roman governor, Felix, for questioning. Paul is accused of being a trouble-maker and stirring up riots among the Jews.

Joe: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up. Paul's a trouble-maker? He's always preaching about peace and love!

Bible Expert: Yes, that's true. Paul is actually defending himself and claiming that he is innocent of all charges. He explains his faith to Felix and his wife, Drusilla, and speaks about the hope of the resurrection of the dead.

Joe: Wait, resurrection of the dead?! Jamie, look this up!

Jamie (from off-screen): Uh, yeah, it's true. The Bible teaches that Jesus rose from the dead and that those who believe in him will be resurrected as well.

Bible Expert: That's right. Felix, however, is not too interested in Paul's teachings and decides to keep him in prison. He hopes to receive a bribe from Paul's friends to release him. In the end, Paul remains in prison for two years before Felix is replaced by a new governor, Festus.

Joe: Wow, that's wild! So Paul was in jail for two years just because Felix was hoping for a bribe? That's messed up.
