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 there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, having fallen into a deep sleep; and as Paul was long in preaching, he sank down with sleep and fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.

10 And Paul went down and fell on him and, embracing him, said, "Trouble not yourselves, for his life is in him."

11 When he therefore had come up again, and had broken bread and eaten and talked for a long while, even until break of day, he departed.

12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 And we went ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, there intending to take aboard Paul; for so had he arranged, intending himself to go on foot.
