Acts 20:12

ComfortJoy

10 But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!”

11 Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed.

And the people were greatly relieved to take the boy home alive.

13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take Paul aboard. He had arranged this because he was going there on foot.

14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.
