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.
