This verse describes an incident where the Apostle Paul was preaching late into the night in Troas. A young man named Eutychus, who was sitting in a window, fell into a deep sleep and fell from the third story to the ground below. Despite the tragic accident, Paul went down, embraced Eutychus, and miraculously restored him to life. This event showcases the power of God working through Paul, demonstrating God's compassion and the authority given to His servants to perform miracles.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Had broken bread - Had taken some refreshment, in order to their journey. And talked a long while - Ὁμιλησας, Having familiarly conversed, for this is the import of the word, which is very different from the διελεγετο, of the seventh verse, and the διαλεγομενου, of the ninth; which imply solemn, grave discourse.
