Acts 20:7-12
New King James Version
Ministering at Troas
7 Now on (A)the first day of the week, when the disciples came together (B)to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight. 8 There were many lamps (C)in the upper room where [a]they were gathered together. 9 And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. 10 But Paul went down, (D)fell on him, and embracing him said, (E)“Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.” 11 Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed. 12 And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little 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.
