| Riepilogo: | Eutychus's unlucky evening in Acts 20:6–12 is frequently overlooked by preachers and commentators alike, deemed to be either too comical, awkward, or separable for serious study. This essay argues that, rather than being separable, the passage plays a significant role in furthering the Lukan argument for Pauline authority running throughout the second half of the book of Acts. Narrative analysis reveals that Acts 20:6–12 defends Paul's Jewishness, his connection to Jewish and Christian authorities, his legitimacy as teacher, and his establishment of Gentile Christian communities like the one in Troas. A canonical approach offers a glimpse at how this passage might be relevant to Christian communities today. |
