Eutychus Raised from the Dead in Troas

And on (A)the first day of the week, when (B)we were gathered together to (C)break bread, Paul began speaking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his [a]message until midnight. Now there were many (D)lamps in the (E)upper room where we were gathered together. And there was a young man named [b]Eutychus sitting on the windowsill, sinking into a deep sleep. And as Paul kept on talking, he sunk into that sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead. 10 But Paul went down and (F)fell upon him, and after embracing him, he (G)said, “[c]Do not be troubled, for his life is in him.” 11 And when he had gone back up and had (H)broken the bread and [d]eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left. 12 And they took away the boy alive, and were not a little comforted.

Paul’s Farewell Visit to Troas

On the first day of the week, when we had met to break bread, Paul began to address the people.[a] Since he intended to leave the next day, he went on speaking until midnight. Now there were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting. A young man named Eutychus, who was sitting in a window, began to sink off into a deep sleep as Paul kept speaking longer and longer. Overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead. 10 But Paul went down, bent over[b] him, took him into his arms, and said, “Stop being alarmed, because he’s still alive.” 11 Then he went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. He talked with them for a long time, until dawn, and then left. 12 They took the young man away alive and were greatly relieved.
