In Troas the second time, Paul spoke to the group that had gathered for the breaking of bread on Saturday night. The meeting went on until late, Paul himself speaking until midnight. Probably the room got stuffy from all the people gathered there and from all the lights burning. Finally a boy named Eutychus, who was sitting on one of the window ledges, went to sleep and fell three stories to the ground. He was picked up and taken for dead, but Paul, who went down, looked at him and said, "Stop this commotion; there is still life in him" (Acts 20:10). After this incident Paul went back upstairs, had something to eat, and continued talking until sunrise. One supposes the room had gotten aired out a bit in the meantime.

It could be that during this visit to Troas Paul left his cloak behind in the excitement. Maybe it was used to cover Eutychus and keep him warm after his fall. Whatever the reason, Paul asks Timothy to "bring the cloak I left with Carpus at Troas, and the books, above all my notebooks" (2 Timothy 4:13).

Troas is also mentioned in 2 Corinthians 2:12 when Paul comments that he was disappointed at not finding Titus there, and so he went on to Macedonia. This probably refers to his first visit to Troas when he did not stay but quickly took the ship and went to Philippi.
