24:25 Why did Felix tremble?
24:25 Why did Felix tremble?
The word "trembled" here means afraid or affrighted, terrified, alarmed (CP Lu 24:5, 37; Ac 10:4; 22:9; Rev 11:13).
Felix was under such severe conviction of sin as Paul spoke of righteousness and self-control, that when he went on to speak of the judgement upon the unrighteous, Felix became afraid and immediately brought the interview to a close. (History records that Felix seduced Drusilla and lured her away from her husband to marry him. Drusilla was the sister of King Agrippa, and the wife of the King of Emesa.)
