Acts 20:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 [a]And the [b]first day of the week, the disciples being come together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow, and continued the preaching unto midnight.
8 [c]And there were many lights in an upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
9 And there sat in a window a certain young man, named Eutychus, fallen into a dead sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he overcome with sleep, fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
