Eutychus Falls from a Window During Paul’s Sermon—and Lives

During Paul’s final night in Troas, he preached until midnight. A young man named Eutychus, sitting in a third-storey window, fell asleep and plunged to the ground. The people who rushed to him found him dead, but Paul embraced him and said his life was in him. Eutychus was alive again, and the believers went home comforted. The account is recorded in Acts 20:7–12. The story is a reminder to stay spiritually alert, especially when tired or distracted. It also offers hope to believers who trust that God can bring comfort in seemingly impossible situations. What stands out to you most: Eutychus’s fall, Paul’s response, or the joyful ending?
