Contextual Overview

7On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Since Paul was ready to leave the next day, he talked to them and kept on speaking until midnight. 8Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered. 9And a certain young man named Eutychus, seated by the window, was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell from the third story and was picked up dead. 10But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. "Do not be alarmed!" he said. "He is still alive!" 11Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. After speaking until daybreak, he departed. 12And the people were greatly relieved to take the boy home alive.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they brought the young man alive,.... Up into the upper room, and presented him alive to the disciples:

and were not a little comforted; that is, the disciples, at the sight of the young man, who was taken up dead, not only for his sake, but chiefly because by this miracle the Gospel, which the apostle preached, and who was about to depart from them, was greatly confirmed to them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Not a little comforted - By the fact that he was alive; perhaps also strengthened by the evidence that a miracle had been performed.
