Chris's comment on 2020-07-11 22:46:24:

Sara, this passage speaks about the apostle Paul when he was preaching to the believers at Troas. On that day, the Lord's Day, Paul was preaching for an extended period of time and young Eutychus fell asleep & indeed, fell off from his place at the window sill far to the ground (a couple of levels down). People thought he had died, but Paul went to him & found that he was still alive & gave that good news to the people. And so verse 12 says that the people were greatly (same as, "not a little") comforted by this news that the boy was still alive. So with everyone happy, & awake, Paul went on to preach for another few hours!

12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted. Acts 20:12

Translation, please.

Eutychus was neither in the window nor out of the window, neither in or out. Just window shopping so to speak. This the way a lot of Christians are today. Not all the way in not all the way out. Just window shopping.
