Acts 20:7-17 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. And on the first day of the week, when we had assembled to break bread, Paul began conversing with them, because he was going to leave on the next day, and he extended his message until midnight.

8. Now there were quite a few lamps in the upstairs room where we were gathered.

9. And a certain young man named Eutychus who was sitting in the window was sinking into a deep sleep while Paul was conversing at length. Being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.

10. But Paul went down and threw himself on him, and putting his arms around him, said, “Do not be distressed, for his life is in him.”

11. So he went up and broke bread, and when he had eaten and talked for a long time, until dawn, then he departed.

12. And they led the youth away alive, and were greatly comforted.

13. But we went on ahead to the ship and put out to sea for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. For having made arrangements in this way, he himself was intending to travel by land.

14. And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.

15. And we sailed from there on the next day, and arrived opposite Chios. And on the next day we approached Samos, and on the following day we came to Miletus.

16. For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so that he would not be having to spend time in Asia. For he was hurrying if it could be possible for him to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

17. And from Miletus he sent word to Ephesus and summoned the elders of the church.
