KJV ORIGINAL
And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
There was this young guy named Eutychus sitting by a window, and he completely dozed off during Paul's super long sermon. He was so out of it that he literally fell asleep, slipped right out of that third-story window, and hit the ground. When they got to him, he was dead.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even the most faithful people have fallen asleep during a long sermon — this guy just had the worst possible timing.
