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.”  
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.

From Troas to Miletus

13 Then we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, there intending to take Paul on board; for so he had1 given orders, intending himself to go on foot.

Acts 20:9-10

Acts 20:9 Eutychus. Sitting in the window, and at last overcome by drowsiness, he fell to the earth, three stories below. The language implies that he was killed by the fall, and restored by the Divine power, exercised through Paul. The history is plain, simple, and easy to understand. Compare II Kings 4:34.
