Eutychus Raised from the Dead

(A)On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together (B)to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. There were many lamps in (C)the upper room where we were gathered. And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he (D)fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. 10 But Paul went down and (E)bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, (F)“Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.” 11 And when Paul had gone up and (G)had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed. 12 And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land. 14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene. 15 And sailing from there we came the following day opposite Chios; the next day we touched at Samos; and[a] the day after that we went to Miletus. 16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia, for he was hastening (H)to be at Jerusalem, if possible, (I)on the day of Pentecost.

19 Hear, my son, and (A)be wise,
    and (B)direct your heart in the way.
20 Be not among (C)drunkards[a]
    or among (D)gluttonous eaters of meat,
21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,
    and (E)slumber will clothe them with rags.

22 (F)Listen to your father who gave you life,
    (G)and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 (H)Buy truth, and do not sell it;
    buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
24 (I)The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice;
    he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.
25 (J)Let your father and mother be glad;
    let (K)her who bore you rejoice.

26 My son, give me your heart,
    and let your eyes observe[b] my ways.
27 For a prostitute is (L)a deep pit;
    (M)an adulteress[c] is a narrow (N)well.
28 (O)She lies in wait like a robber
    and increases the traitors among mankind.
