Acts 20:5-15

5These went on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas,

6but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.

7On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight.

8There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered.

9And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.

10But Paul went down and bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, "Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him."

11And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed.

12And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.

13But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land.

14And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.

15And sailing from there we came the following day opposite Chios; the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after that we went to Miletus.
