Acts 20 CEB

Of course, this is something that is very common to all people preachers, often talk way too long. And sometimes the preacher might even realize you know what I’m talking way too long, but the interesting thing about this passage is that this young man falls asleep. Falls from the third floor out of window and dies. At that point, Paul goes down and heals the man but then goes back upstairs and continues to preach until the sun comes up.
