# he hoped that Paul would give money to him

Here the word "hope" means "want" or "expect," but the person who hopes in this way does not know if what he hopes for will happen. Sometimes prisoners gave money to government officials so that the officials would free them from prison early, and Felix hoped that Paul would do that. Alternate translation: "he wanted Paul to give money to him" or "he expected that Paul might give money to him"
