Acts 20:6-16
61We sailed from 2Philippi after 34the days of Unleavened Bread, and reached them at 5Troas within five days; and we stayed there for seven days.
7On 6the first day of the week, when 7we were gathered together to 8break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his 9message until midnight. 8There were many 10lamps in the 11upstairs room where we were gathered together. 9And there was a young man named 12Eutychus sitting 13on the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep; and as Paul kept on talking, Eutychus was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor, and was picked up dead. 10But Paul went down and 14fell upon him, and after embracing him, he 15said, “16Do not be troubled, for 17he is still alive.” 11When Paul had gone back up and had 18broken the bread and 19eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left. 12They took away the boy alive, and were 20greatly comforted.
13But 21we went ahead to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul on board; for that was what he had arranged, intending himself to go 22by land. 14And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene. 15Sailing from there, we arrived the following day opposite Chios; and the next day we crossed over to Samos, and on the following day we came to 23Miletus. 16For Paul had decided to sail past 24Ephesus so that he would not have to lose time in 2526Asia; for he was hurrying, if it might be possible for him 27to be in Jerusalem 28the day of Pentecost.
