Felix of the Sanhedrin
Sanhedrist of the class of the Elders, like his friend Joseph of Arimathea. It is in this capacity that he is present at the Banquet offered by Joseph of Arimathea to Jesus.[1]
Felix is a staunch supporter of the Baptist and his Doctrine of strictness against the lax doctrine of Jesus. He loses his temper when Gamaliel, also present, seems to side with Jesus:"What? You too, who lead the Jews, you, the Elder, our glory, do you fall into this idolatry for a man? But what proves to you that he is the Christ? As for me, I will not believe it, even if I saw him perform miracles. But why does he not perform one in front of us? Tell him; you who praise him; tell him, you who defend him."
