Paul’s Farewell Visit to Troas

7 On the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to leave the next day, preached to them and continued his message until midnight. 8 There were many lamps in the upper room where they were assembled. 9 A young man named Eutychus sat in the window, falling into a deep sleep as Paul spoke for a longer time. Being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead. 10 Paul went down and leaned over him, and embracing him said, “Do not be troubled, for he is alive.” 11 When he had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed for a long while until dawn and departed. 12 They took the lad in alive and were greatly comforted.

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.
