Kind of an amusing story concerning the young man Eutychus, who fell asleep during one of Paul’s long sermons, fell out of a third story window, died, and was revived by Paul.

Acts 20:26
Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
This is a great testimony of Paul’s faith in knowing that he is forgiven for persecuting and killing Christians.

Acts 21:8
Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven.
When we read one of the Seven (with a capital S) we thought that perhaps there were only seven remaining apostles living at this time, Philip being one of the Seven. After doing some research, we discovered that most commentaries agree that this Philip was not one of the apostles, but one of the seven deacons. (Acts 6:5)

It is very difficult to read the story of the sad farewell (Acts 20:36-38) and not be moved to tears.

There was some confusion (by us) concerning the Spirit warning Paul about what was to happen to him in Jerusalem. Paul was warned by the Holy Spirit and other people were also warned about what Paul would have to suffer there. After studying further, it seems as if the Holy Spirit was telling the people that Paul would face much suffering in Jerusalem. The people loved Paul and wanted to save him. But the Holy Spirit didn’t tell them to try to stop Paul. Something for us to ponder.
