Acts 20:7-12

7 On ¹the first day of the week, when ²we were gathered together to ³break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.

8 There were many ⁴lamps in the ⁵upper room where we were gathered together.

9 And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting on the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep; and as Paul kept on talking, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead.

10 But Paul went down and ⁶fell upon him, and after embracing him, he ⁷said, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him."

11 When he had gone back up and had ⁸broken the bread and eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left.

12 They took away the boy alive, and were greatly * comforted.
