Exegesis
The repetition of ho Phelix before katelipe {κατέλιπε | ka-té-li-pe} “he left” reestablishes the subject for the final action, and Paulon {Παῦλον | paû-lon} with dedemenon {δεδεμένον | de-de-mé-non} “bound” marks Paul’s continued state of confinement. The structure links the completion of Felix’s tenure, the arrival of his successor, and the political calculus that prolongs Paul’s imprisonment.
In context — Acts 24:27
But when two years had been completed, Felix received Porcius Festus as his successor; and, wishing to store up a favor for the Jews, Felix left Paul bound.
