Felix

Antonius. Procurator of Judaea, in the reigns of Claudius and Nero. He induced Drusilla, wife of Azizus, king of Emesa, to leave her husband; and she was still living with Felix in A.D. 60, when St. Paul preached before him “of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come.” He was recalled in A.D. 62.
