8 Many lamps were burning in the upstairs room where we were meeting.
9 A young man named Eutychus was sitting in the window, and as Paul kept on talking, Eutychus got sleepier and sleepier, until he finally went sound asleep and fell from the third storey to the ground. When they picked him up, he was dead.
10 But Paul went down and threw himself on him and hugged him. “Don't worry,” he said, “he is still alive!”
11 Then he went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. After talking with them for a long time, even until sunrise, Paul left.
12 They took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted.
13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed off to Assos, where we were going to take Paul aboard. He had told us to do this, because he was going there by land.
14 When he met us in Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.
