9. As Paul spoke on and on, a young man named Eutychus, sitting on the windowsill, became very drowsy. Finally, he fell sound asleep and dropped three stories to his death below.
10. Paul went down, bent over him, and took him into his arms. “Don’t worry,” he said, “he’s alive!”
11. Then they all went back upstairs, shared in the Lord’s Supper, and ate together. Paul continued talking to them until dawn, and then he left.
12. Meanwhile, the young man was taken home alive and well, and everyone was greatly relieved.
13. Paul went by land to Assos, where he had arranged for us to join him, while we traveled by ship.
14. He joined us there, and we sailed together to Mitylene.
