He fell down from the third story, and was dead when they picked him up. 10Paul went down, tightly embraced Eutychus, and said, 'Don't be troubled, for his life is in him.' 11When Paul had gone back upstairs, broken bread, and eaten, he talked with them a long while, right up til break of day. Then he departed. 12As for the boy, they took him home alive, and were greatly comforted.” (Acts 20:8-12).
