Now these had gone on ahead and were waiting for (A)us at (B)Troas. (C)We sailed from (D)Philippi after [a](E)the days of Unleavened Bread, and reached them at (F)Troas within five days; and we stayed there for seven days.

On (G)the first day of the week, when (H)we were gathered together to (I)break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his [b]message until midnight. There were many (J)lamps in the (K)upstairs room where we were gathered together. And there was a young man named [c]Eutychus sitting [d]on 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. 10 But Paul went down and (L)fell upon him, and after embracing him, he (M)said, “[e]Do not be troubled, for [f]he is still alive.” 11 When Paul had gone back up and had (N)broken the bread and [g]eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left. 12 They took away the boy alive, and were [h]greatly comforted.

Troas to Miletus

13 But (O)we 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 [i]by land. 14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene. 15 Sailing 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 (P)Miletus.

Eutychus Raised From the Dead at Troas

On the first day of the week(E) we came together to break bread.(F) Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. There were many lamps in the upstairs room(G) where we were meeting. Seated 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. 10 Paul went down, threw himself on the young man(H) and put his arms around him. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “He’s alive!”(I) 11 Then he went upstairs again and broke bread(J) and ate. After talking until daylight, he left. 12 The people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted.

Paul’s Farewell to the Ephesian Elders

13 We 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. 14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene. 15 The next day we set sail from there and arrived off Chios. The day after that we crossed over to Samos, and on the following day arrived at Miletus.(K)
