Acts 24. Paul is imprisoned due to political pressure from the Jewish mobs and leaders who wanted him dead. Against Roman law, Governor Felix keeps Paul under house arrest for two years, bringing him in often to talk with him and hear about the Way, but though Felix is fascinated by the Gospel, when the Truth starts cutting to close to home, Felix retreats back to the safety of worldly unbelief. But Jesus tells we are blessed when we're persecuted, because the Truth is too close for comfort, and though the crowds are uncomfortable, God rejoices in heaven.
