The F.O.G
[27] Two years passed this way, until Porcius Festus succeeded Felix as governor. Felix, still seeking to curry favor with the Jewish leaders, left Paul in prison – a final act of political expediency over justice.

and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favour on the Jews, left Paul bound.
