Eutychus Raised From the Dead at Troas
7On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight.8There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting.9Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead.
10Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms around him. “Don't be alarmed,” he said. “He's alive!”11Then he went upstairs again and broke bread and ate. After talking until daylight, he left.12The people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted.

I have not found this in any other commentator I have read thus far, but it seems interesting to me that Paul states that the boy is alive but before Luke notes the fact that the boy is alive he has Paul and his fellow disciples go back into the upper room and spend the rest of the night in discussion. Is it possible that the boy did not resuscitate visibly until the morning? That the disciples had a great enough faith in God that they were able to leave him throughout the night, believing God would raise him again?
