Eutychus was a young man who attended a gathering in Troas where Paul was preaching (Act.20.9). As Paul prolonged his message late into the night, Eutychus, who was sitting in a window, fell asleep and fell from the third story. He was picked up dead, but Paul went down, embraced him, and declared that he was alive (Act.20.10). This miraculous restoration of Eutychus's life demonstrated God's power working through Paul. The incident also highlights the length and depth of Paul's teachings, which could extend late into the night.
