Eventually, Paul leaves Ephesus and travels around Greece and Macedonia. In Greece, he angers the Jews who plot to kill him, so he continues traveling.
The text slows down for an interesting anecdote at Troas. Paul is preaching to the local church in a private home about three stories high. He is preaching late into the night when one man, Eutychus, falls asleep and falls out of the window. The people rush down and find him dead.
Paul jumps on the body of Eutychus and declares that he is alive. They go back to listening to Paul's preaching until dawn the next day.
Paul does not scold Eutychus for falling asleep during Paul's sermon. Rather, they just carry on as usual.
