Acts 24:26
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him.
