CARBON MONOXIDE and THE BIBLE

Amazing story of a young man 

who is overcome by carbon monoxide 

in the New Testament.

CARBON MONOXIDE is a deadly, colorless, odorless gas produced by the incomplete burning of coal, wood, charcoal, oil, kerosene, and other fuels.   Symptoms of CO poisoning include mental nausea, dizziness, loss of consciousness and death.

YOUNG MAN SITTING IN THE WINDOW
"And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting on the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep; and as Paul kept on talking, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead."  Acts 20:9 NASB

HEALING
"But Paul went down and fell upon him, and after embracing him, he said, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him."  ACTS 20:10 NASB

TALKED ALL NIGHT LONG
"When he had gone back up and had broken the bread and eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left.  They took away the boy alive, and were greatly comforted."  ACTS 20:11 NASB
