### How did Paul talk to the governor?
|
||||
|
||||
[24:10, 24:11]
|
||||
|
||||
Paul talked to the governor with confidence because the governor had judged the Jews for years. Paul was glad because Paul did not act against Jewish laws. Paul believed the governor would make the right judgment.

### Why did Paul say it was not more than twelve days since he went to Jerusalem to worship?
|
||||
|
||||
[24:11]
|
||||
|
||||
Scholars think it would have been very easy for the governor to find out whether Paul was guilty of doing evil things. This is because it had only been a period of twelve days.

### Why did Luke write Drusilla was Jewish?
|
||||
|

[24:24]

||||

Other scholars think Felix wanted Paul to give him personal advice in the same way some other Roman leaders paid people to give them personal advice.
