Paul went down, bent over him, and took him into his arms. “Don’t worry,” he said, “he’s alive!”
He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.”
When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. “Don’t cry!” he said.
Then he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but now I will go and wake him up.”
Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?”
As Paul spoke on and on, a young man named Eutychus, sitting on the windowsill, became very drowsy. Finally, he fell sound asleep and dropped three stories to his death below.
