Acts 20:7-12
Lexham English Bible

Eutychus Falls from a Window

7 And on the first day of the week, when[a] we had assembled to break bread, Paul began conversing[b] with them, because he[c] was going to leave on the next day, and he extended his[d] message until midnight. 8 Now there were quite a few lamps in the upstairs room where we were gathered. 9 And a certain young man named[e] Eutychus who was sitting in the window was sinking into a deep sleep while[f] Paul was conversing at length. Being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead. 10 But Paul went down and[g] threw himself on him, and putting his arms around him,[h] said, “Do not be distressed, for his life is in him.” 11 So he went up and broke bread,[i] and when he[j] had eaten and talked for a long time, until dawn, then he departed. 12 And they led the youth away alive, and were greatly[k] comforted.
