Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 24:22

22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledg of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.

Some understand by that way, the custom or manner of the Priests to calumniate Paul ▪ Or, 2dly, The Religion of Moses, and how, and in what it differed from the Religion of Christ; either of which Felix might know, and by either of them conclude Paul to be innocent. But 3dly, By that way, as frequently in this Book, Chap. 9.2. and 22.4. is meant the Christian Religion its self, which Felix not only from Paul's Apology, and Lysias's Account of the whole matter, but by divers other means (it having made so great a noise in the World) could not be ignorant of.

Some read, he deferred them till he could have a more perfect knowledg of that way, and till Lysias, the Chief Captain, should come down: For there being Two things laid to Paul's charge: 1. His evil Opinions in matters of Religion: And 2. His causing a Sedition. As to the first, Felix would not determine it till he had had better Information about those things which St. Paul was accused for to hold. As to the latter, it being matter of Fact, which Lysias was present at, he would hear his Testimony or Evidence, looking upon him as one indifferent and unconcerned betwixt them.
