Acts 20:11 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 20:11

When he therefore was come up again
Into the upper room, where he was before, and where the disciples were gathered together:

and had broken bread and eaten;
administered the Lord's supper, and also eat for his bodily refreshment:

and talked a long while:
about the ordinance and the doctrines of the Gospel, and spiritual experience, and such like divine things:

even till break of day;
not knowing when to leave off:

so he departed;
without taking any rest; though before he departed, what follows was done; it was at this time he left his cloak, books, and parchments here, ( 2 Timothy 4:13 ) .

Acts 20:11 In-Context

9 And 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.

10 But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!”

11 Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed.

12 And the people were greatly relieved to take the boy home alive.

13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take Paul aboard. He had arranged this because he was going there on foot.
