Eutychus
__NOTOC__ Eutychus () was a young man (or a youth) of Alexandria Troas, Troas tended to by Paul the Apostle, St. Paul. Eutychus fell asleep due to the long nature of the discourse Paul was giving, fell from a window out of the three-story building, and died. Paul then embraced him, insisting that he was not dead, and they carried him back upstairs alive; those gathered then had a meal and a long talk which lasted until dawn. This is related in the New Testament book of the Acts 20, Acts of the Apostles 20:7–12. Though some (e.g. William Barclay (theologian), William Barclay, F. F. Bruce), do not believe that Eutychus died, Wayne Jackson observes the following facts: 1) the author Luke the Evangelist, Luke, a physician (Col. 4:14), plainly states that Eutychus was "taken up dead" (, ''erthe nekros''); 2) after Paul embraces Eutychus, he says, "Trouble not yourselves, for his life is in him" (, ''he gar psuche autou en auto estin''), not "still in him" as the Weymouth New Testame ...

Luke The Evangelist
Luke the Evangelist was one of the Four Evangelists—the four traditionally ascribed authors of the canonical gospels. The Early Church Fathers ascribed to him authorship of both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Prominent figures in early Christianity such as Jerome and Eusebius later reaffirmed his authorship, although a lack of conclusive evidence as to the identity of the author of the works has led to discussion in scholarly circles, both secular and religious. The New Testament mentions Luke briefly a few times, and the Epistle to the Colossians refers to him as a physician (from Greek for 'one who heals'); thus he is thought to have been both a physician and a disciple of Paul. Since the early years of the faith, Christians have regarded him as a saint. He is believed to have been a martyr, reportedly having been hanged from an olive tree, though some believe otherwise. The Eastern Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic church and other major denominati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was based on the text of ''The Resultant Greek Testament''. The text was produced by Weymouth. It was what resulted from his compilation of readings from Stephens (1550), Lachmann, Tregelles, Tischendorf, Lightfoot, Ellicott, Alford, Weiss, the Bâle edition (1880), Westcott and Hort, and the Revision Committee of London. Where these editions differed, Weymouth selected the reading favoured by the majority of editors. The text was prepared for final publication by his secretary, Reverend Ernest Hampden-Cook, after Weymouth's death in 1902. Weymouth also prepared a translation of his text, with notes.
