This is a simplified version of the Bible story found in Acts 20:7-12, written for children to understand. For the original version, please refer to the Bible passage.
One day, Paul was preaching to a group of people in a big room with a lot of lamps. The people were all listening to him talk about Jesus.
Paul kept talking and talking, even when it got really late. A boy named Eutychus was sitting in a window and started to get really tired. He fell asleep and then fell out of the window from the third floor! He was hurt so badly that everyone thought he was dead.
But Paul went down to where Eutychus was lying and held him in his arms. Paul told everyone not to worry because Eutychus was going to be okay. He said, “Don’t worry, he’s alive and well.”
Then Paul went back upstairs and kept talking to the people until morning. The people who were with Paul were amazed at what had happened, and they were so happy that Eutychus was alive again.
