Acts 20:7-12
Wycliffe Bible
7 And in the first day of the week, when we came to break bread, Paul disputed with them, and should go forth in the morrow [Paul disputed with them, he to going in the morrow]; and he drew along the sermon till into midnight.
8 And many lamps were in the solar, where we were gathered together.
9 And a young man [Soothly some young man], Eutychus by name, sat on the window, when he was fallen into an heavy sleep, while Paul disputed long, all sleeping he fell down from the third stage [Paul disputing long, he led by sleep fell down from the third stage]; and he was taken up, and was brought dead.
10 To whom when Paul came down, he lay on him, and embraced, and said [and embracing said], Do not ye be troubled; for his soul is in him.
11 And he went up, and brake bread, and ate, and spake enough unto the day [and spake enough till into the light]; and so he went forth.
12 And they brought the child alive, and they were comforted greatly [and they were comforted not least].

New Matthew Bible
7 And on the morrow after the Sabbath day, the disciples came together to break bread. Paul, who was ready to depart on the next day, preached to them, and continued preaching until midnight. 8 And there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together. 9 And a certain young man named Eutychus sat in a window, falling into a deep sleep. And as Paul spoke on, he was the more overcome with sleep, and fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead. 10 Paul went down and fell on him, and embraced him and said, Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.
11 When Paul had gone upstairs again, he broke bread and ate, and talked a long while, even till the morning, and so departed. 12 And they brought in the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

Authorized (King James) Version
7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. 8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. 9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. 10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. 11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. 12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
