Notes

Note 1

Felix’s cruelty and licentiousness, coupled with his accessibility to bribes (see Acts 24:26), led to a great increase of crime in Judaea. The period of his rule was marked by internal feuds and disturbances, which he put down with severity.

Note 2

Felix was the younger brother of the Greek freedman Marcus Antonius Pallas.
