8. There were many lamps in the room upstairs where we were assembled,
9. and a young man named Eutychus was sitting on a window sill and sank into a deep sleep as Paul kept on speaking. When he was overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
10. But Paul went down, fell on him, embraced him, and said, “Don’t be alarmed, for his life is in him! ”
11. After going upstairs, breaking the bread, and eating, Paul conversed a considerable time until dawn. Then he left.
12. They brought the boy home alive and were greatly comforted.
13. Then we went on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. For these were his instructions, since he himself was going by land.
14. When he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.
15. Sailing from there, the next day we arrived off Chios. The following day we crossed over to Samos, and the day after, we came to Miletus.
16. For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so he would not have to spend time in Asia, because he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, for the day of Pentecost.
