Ministering at Troas

7 Now on athe first day of the week, when the disciples came together bto break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.  
8 There were many lamps ain the upper room where 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, afell on him, and embracing him said, b“Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.”

Acts 20:8

Upper chamber - It was in an upper chamber in the temple that the primitive disciples were accustomed to meet: on that account, they might have preferred an upper chamber whenever they could meet with it. The pious Quesnel supposes that the smoke, issuing from the many lamps in this upper chamber, was the cause of Eutychus falling asleep; and this, he says, the apostle mentions, in charity, to excuse the young man' s appearing negligent.
