Acts 20:12 in context

The verses around it, from Acts 20.

8 Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered.

9 And a certain young man named Eutychus, seated in the window, was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell from the third story and was picked up dead.

10 But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!”

11 Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed.

12 And the people were greatly relieved to take the boy home alive.

13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take Paul aboard. He had arranged this because he was going there on foot.

14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.

15 Sailing on from there, we arrived the next day opposite Chios. The day after that we arrived at Samos, and on the following day we came to Miletus.

16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, because he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.
