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 A young man named Eutychus was sitting in a window. He sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. Sound asleep, Eutychus fell from the third floor. When they picked him up from the ground, he was dead.

10 Paul went down and threw himself on the young man. He put his arms around him. "Don't be alarmed," he told them. "He's alive!"

11 Then Paul went upstairs again. He broke bread and ate with them. He kept on talking until daylight. Then he left.

12 The people took the young man home. They were greatly comforted because he was alive.

13 We went on ahead to the ship. We sailed for Assos. There we were going to take Paul on board. He had planned it this way because he wanted to go there by land.
