ACTS 20:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.”
Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms around him — 'Don't be alarmed,' he said. 'He's alive!' — Paul's prostration (epistrepsis, likely a reverential gesture) and embrace mirror Elijah's resuscitation of the widow's son (1 Kings 17:21) and Peter's with Dorcas (9:40). The assurance ('He's alive') precedes full recovery.
