Note 3 at Acts 20:9: Eutychus' name means "fortunate" which certainly was true for him. As related in this passage, he fell asleep during Paul's message and fell from the window he was sitting in. He was pronounced dead (v. 9), but Paul raised him from the dead (v. 10).

Note 4 at Acts 20:9: The mention of Eutychus being in a deep sleep shows that he did not just doze off for a second. He had been asleep for some time. This reveals something about the way the first century church services were conducted.

No usher was there to thump him on the head for going to sleep and there is no mention of his sleep grieving the Holy Spirit so much that Paul couldn't preach. Paul didn't reprimand Eutychus for falling asleep or just leave him dead as an example to others who would dare to fall asleep while he was preaching.

Many of our notions about what's proper in church would been laughed at in the ministries of Jesus and Paul. They constantly had people mocking them while they were ministering and it is certain that there must have been much commotion in Jesus' ministry when men, women, and children stayed with Him for three days.

The Holy Spirit is not as irritable as many have portrayed Him to be. When the power of God is not in manifestation, then men's attention turns to trifles.
