6. But we [ourselves] sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread [the Passover week], and in five days we joined them at Troas, where we remained for seven days.
7. And on the first day of the week, when we were assembled together to break bread [the Lord's Supper], Paul discoursed with them, intending to leave the next morning; and he kept on with his message until midnight.
8. Now there were numerous lights in the upper room where we were assembled,
9. And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting in the window. He was borne down with deep sleep as Paul kept on talking still longer, and [finally] completely overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
10. But Paul went down and bent over him and embraced him, saying, Make no ado; his life is within him.
11. When Paul had gone back upstairs and had broken bread and eaten [with them], and after he had talked confidentially and communed with them for a considerable time–until daybreak [in fact]–he departed.
12. They took the youth home alive, and were not a little comforted and cheered and refreshed and encouraged.
13. But going on ahead to the ship, the rest of us set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for that was what he had directed, intending himself to go by land [on foot].
14. So when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and sailed on to Mitylene.
