Eutychus

English

A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Act.20.9.

Eutychus was a young man who attended a gathering in Troas where Paul was preaching (Acts 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 (Acts 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.
