A young man named Eutychus was sitting in the window, and as Paul talked on and on he sank into a deep sleep. Overcome at last, he fell three stories to the ground and was picked up dead.
In context
7On the first day of the week, when we had gathered to break bread, Paul spoke to them. Since he meant to leave the next morning, he kept talking until midnight. 8There were many lamps burning in the upstairs room where we were gathered. 9A young man named Eutychus was sitting in the window, and as Paul talked on and on he sank into a deep sleep. Overcome at last, he fell three stories to the ground and was picked up dead. 10Paul went down, threw himself upon him and took him in his arms. “Stop the commotion,” he said. “He is alive.” 11Then he went back up, broke the bread and ate, and talked on for a long while, until daybreak; and so he left.
