Context of Acts 20:11

9Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead. 10Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms around him. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “He’s alive!” Then he went upstairs again and broke bread and ate. After talking until daylight, he left. 12The people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted. 13We went on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, where we were going to take Paul aboard. He had made this arrangement because he was going there on foot.

Commentaries on Acts 20:11

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Had broken bread - Had taken some refreshment, in order to their journey. And talked a long while - ̔, Having familiarly conversed, for this is the import of the word, which is very different from the , of the seventh verse, and the , of the ninth; which imply solemn, grave discourse.Read the comment
• 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. In the breaking of the bread, not only the breaking of Christ's body for us, to be a sacrifice for our sins, is remembered…Read the comment

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
