Paul's Defense and Felix's Reaction

Paul stands trial before Felix, the governor, who is presented with accusations from the high priest Ananias and others portraying Paul as a threat to Jewish law. Paul defends himself by stating that he was in Jerusalem for a brief period and did not cause any disturbances, emphasizing that he was merely performing acts of worship. Despite Felix's partial knowledge of the Christian faith, he remains non-committal after being alarmed by Paul's address on justice, self-control, and future judgment. This reflects a broader theme that one can be convicted but still choose to remain unmoved and indifferent to the truth.
