ACTS 20:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.”
Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into sleep as Paul talked on and on — Finally, he sank into a deep sleep and fell from the third story — His name (Eutychus = 'fortunate') creates ironic contrast with his peril. The tumbling from three stories (the Greek house's highest level) suggests potentially fatal impact.
