Eutychus Falls from a Window
7 And on the first day of the week, when[a] we had assembled to break bread, Paul began conversing[b] with them, because he[c] was going to leave on the next day, and he extended his[d] 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[e] Eutychus who was sitting in the window was sinking into a deep sleep while[f] Paul was conversing at length. Being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
