The answer is: Eutychus

Acts 20:9 - Eutychus, a young man of Troas.

Imagine being in Troas, gathered for a marathon sermon by Paul—eager listeners perched comfortably in rooms above the street. Enter Eutychus, who maybe got a bit too cozy at the window, lulled by Paul's mesmerizing—and we’re talking LONG—discourse. He ultimately took a tumble, plunging from the third story and hitting the ground with a less-than-graceful thud! To his friends' shock, he didn't just knock out. Paul, rather undeterred, raced down, revived him with a miracle, and they went back up to continue the feast of teaching. It’s both a miracle and a beautiful reminder about attention and engagement.

The name "Eutychus" interestingly means "fortunate," and perhaps someone with such luck could keep awake during apocalyptic rhetoric, even if just for a little longer. This young man is not just a quirky footnote in Biblical history; he's a symbol of human experience—fallibility, yet also, hope through second chances!

This story is echoic of the broader message in biblical wisdom: the importance of being vigilant and how sometimes, we all need reviving after a stumble, whether spiritually or literally. Eutychus serves not just as a cautionary tale about being too comfortable, but also as a testament to community—because Paul didn’t let Eutychus’s episode send everyone home but collectively engaged to overcome an embarrassing fall with newfound encouragement.
