Contextual Overview

⁷ on the first day of the week we assembled to break bread, when Paul, who was to depart on the morrow, gave them a sermon, which lasted till midnight. ⁸ in the upper chamber where we were assembled, several lamps were burning: ⁹ and as Paul continued his discourse a great while, a young man, named Eutychus, who was sitting in the window, was seiz'd with a deep sleep, which quite o'er-came him; so that he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead. ¹⁰ so Paul went down, and stooping over him, he embraced him, and said, don't trouble your selves; for his life is in him. ¹¹ then Paul went up again, and having broken bread and eaten, he reassumed his discourse till break of day, and then departed. ¹² but the young man was brought in alive and well, to the joy of the whole assembly. As for us, we embark'd, and sail'd to Assos,

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.
