Context of Acts 20:11

9And a certain youth, by name Eutychus, sitting at the window-opening, overpowered by deep sleep, while Paul discoursed very much at length, having been overpowered by the sleep, fell from the third story down to the bottom, and was taken up dead. 10But Paul descending fell upon him, and enfolding [him] [in his arms], said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him. And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away. 12And they brought [away] the boy alive, and were no little comforted. 13And we, having gone before on board ship, sailed off to Assos, going to take in Paul there; for so he had directed, he himself being about to go on foot.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Come up again - To the upper room, Acts 20:8. And had broken bread, and eaten - Had taken refreshment. As this is spoken of Paul only, it is evidently distinguished from the celebration of the Lord‘s Supper.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-12Verses 7-12 Though the disciples read, and meditated, and prayed, and sung apart, and thereby kept up communion with God, yet they came together to worship God, and so kept up their communion with one another. They came together on the first day of the week, the Lord's day. It is to be religiously observed by all disciples of Christ.

This was Paul’s last visit to Troas. The believers met to share the Lord’s Supper (a meal that remembers Jesus’s death). This likely included both the bread and cup (communion) and a shared meal (compare Acts 2:42, 46; Jude 1:12). One notable part of this gathering was the quiet miracle involving Eutychus. He was a…Read the comment
