Meet Eutychus.
A young person in an Acts gathering.
Who was Eutychus?
Eutychus was a young man at a gathering in Troas where Paul spoke late into the night. He fell asleep near a window and fell. Acts describes the distress and the community's comfort when he was brought alive.
The story ends with people deeply comforted. It should not be used to mock a tired young person or turn a frightening accident into a joke.
