During Paul's preaching in Troas, what happened to Eutychus?

• A. He shouted for joy.
• B. He was healed of an illness.
• C. He fell asleep and fell from the third loft, but Paul restored him to life.
• D. He challenged Paul with questions.

Answer: (C)

In Troas, while Paul is teaching late into the night, a young man named Eutychus sits in a window, falls asleep, and drops from the third story. Paul goes down, takes him up, and life returns to him; Eutychus is restored to life. This moment underscores Paul’s authority and the power at work through him, showing that God can bring life even in the midst of a serious mishap as the message is being proclaimed. There’s no report of shouting for joy, healing of an illness, or Eutychus offering questions—the text records a fatal-looking fall that is reversed through God’s sustaining power.
