Acts 20:8-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. Now there were plenty of lamps in the upper room, where we were gathered.

9. And a certain adolescent named Eutychus, sitting on the window sill, was being weighed down by a heavy drowsiness (for Paul was preaching at length). Then, as he went to sleep, he fell from the third floor room downward. And when he was lifted up, he was dead.

10. When Paul had gone down to him, he laid himself over him and, embracing him, said, "Do not worry, for his soul is still within him."

11. And so, going up, and breaking bread, and eating, and having spoken well on until daylight, he then set out.

12. Now they had brought the boy in alive, and they were more than a little consoled.
