One of my favorite miracles of Saint Paul is the tale of Eutychus, where a young man of the name who had been listening to Saint Paul's teachings one night fell asleep during the long time of talking as he sat on an open window's edge, and, in the midst of his slumber, took a tumble from the third story of the building, which killed him, only for him to then be, by God's gracious blessing, resurrected by the embrace of Saint Paul, who then took Eutychus back into the building, ate with him and the rest of the crowd gathered there in the room, and continued their long discussion of the faith until the new day arrived. The story is found in The Acts of the Apostles, in the twentieth chapter.
>On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered. And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. But Paul went down and bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.” And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed. And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted. - The Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 20, Verses 7-12
