Deep Sleep

The apostle Paul and Eutychus

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. 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. And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.-Acts 20:7-12***Years after Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven, the apostle Paul (Saul) and Silas (Silvanus) were imprisoned in Philippi. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that when the jailer was soundly sleeping, Paul and Silas were praying and singing to the Lord God. After a sudden quaking of the earth shook the prison's foundations, and every door was opened, and each prisoner's chains were unfastened, the jailor woke up and became aware of the open doors, and thought of ending his life. However, Paul called out reassuringly to the jailer, and the jailer asked Paul and Silas about the requirements necessary to be saved. Paul and Silas told the jailer to believe on the Lord Jesus, and Paul and Silas shared the message of Jesus, the Christ, with the jailer and his family. The jailer and his family were baptized, and the jailer fed Paul and Silas, and Paul and Silas were back in prison. Paul and Silas were told to depart, according to the command of the magistrates, and the magistrates personally told Paul and Silas to depart. In Troas, as Paul was preaching a lengthy message before leaving Troas, Eutychus, one of the young men in attendance, fell deeply asleep and fell from the 3rd floor, and was divinely fallen upon and embraced by Paul.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31
