Lesson 4686

 (Lesson 4686)(12-02-24) Acts 20:7-12 

   “And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.” 

 

  In today’s quote, Paul and the believers gathered in Troas on the first day of the week to eat. After their meal, Paul preached to them until midnight. A young man named Eutychus, sitting in a window, fell asleep during the long sermon and fell to the ground from the third story. Paul went down, finding the young man dead, Paul picked him up and after embracing him declared that he was alive. They returned to the upper room, and Paul continued speaking until dawn. The believers were greatly comforted, that Eutychus had revived. ~
