7
On the first day of the week, when we met to break bread, Paul was holding a discussion with them; since he intended to leave the next day, he continued speaking until midnight.
8
There were many lamps in the room upstairs where we were meeting.
9
A young man named Eutychus, who was sitting in the window, began to sink off into a deep sleep while Paul talked still longer. Overcome by sleep, he fell to the ground three floors below and was picked up dead.
10
But Paul went down, and bending over him took him in his arms, and said, "Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him."
11
Then Paul went upstairs, and after he had broken bread and eaten, he continued to converse with them until dawn; then he left.
12
Meanwhile they had taken the boy away alive and were not a little comforted.
13
We went ahead to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there; for he had made this arrangement, intending to go by land himself.
14
When he met us in Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.
15
We sailed from there, and on the following day we arrived opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos, and the day after that we came to Miletus.
16
For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia; he was eager to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.
