The Acts 20:4-12 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

4. With him were Sopater, son of Pyrrhus from Berea, and Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica. Gaius from Derbe was also with him, and so were Timothy and the two Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5. They went on ahead to Troas and waited for us there.

6. After the Festival of Thin Bread, we sailed from Philippi. Five days later we met them in Troas and stayed there for a week.

7. On the first day of the week we met to break bread together. Paul spoke to the people until midnight because he was leaving the next morning.

8. In the upstairs room where we were meeting, there were a lot of lamps.

9. A young man called Eutychus was sitting on a window sill. While Paul was speaking, the young man got very sleepy. Finally, he went to sleep and fell three floors all the way down to the ground. When they picked him up, he was dead.

10. Paul went down and bent over Eutychus. He took him in his arms and said, “Don't worry! He's alive.”

11. After Paul had gone back upstairs, he broke bread, and ate with us. He then spoke until dawn and left.

12. Then the followers took the young man home alive and were very happy.
