8We were meeting in an upstairs room. It was 3 floors high. There were a lot of oil lamps burning in that room, and the smoke made some people get sleepy.
9A young man called Eutychus was sitting at an open window. Paul kept talking for a long time, and Eutychus got very sleepy. Then he went properly to sleep, and he fell out of that window, all the way down 3 floors, to the ground. Some people went down to pick him up, but he was dead.
10Paul went down too, and he lay down and put his arms around the young man, and pressed himself against him. Then he said, “Don’t worry, he is alive.” And that was true. He came alive again.
11Then Paul and the others went back upstairs again, and we all ate the special meal together to remember Jesus died for us. Then Paul talked with the Christians until the sun started to come up. Then he left them and went to the ship.
