John Chrysostom, on Acts 20:8

John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
Acts 20:8 · Douay-Rheims
“And there were a great number of lamps in the upper chamber where we were assembled.”
On this verse:
“"And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. 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." But the Devil disturbed the feast-not that he prevailed, however-by plunging the hearer in sleep, and causing him to fall down. But observe, I pray you, the theatre, how crowded it was: and the miracle, what it was. "He was sitting in a window," at dead of night. Such was their eagerness to hear him!”
