Eutychus Revived at Troas

On the first day of the week the believers gather to break bread, and Paul speaks until midnight because he is leaving the next day. In the upper room full of lamps, a young man named Eutychus sinks into deep sleep at the window and falls from the third story, and he is picked up dead.

O⁷n the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Since Paul was ready to leave the next day, he talked to them and kept on speaking until midnight. ⁸Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered. ⁹And a certain young man named Eutychus, seated in the window, was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell from the third story and was picked up dead.

Paul goes down, throws himself over Eutychus, embraces him, and tells the people not to be alarmed because life is still in him. He returns upstairs, breaks bread, continues speaking until daybreak, and the believers are greatly comforted to take the boy home alive.
