Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words "εὖ" (eu), meaning "well" or "good," and "τύχη" (tyche), meaning "fortune" or "luck."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the name Eutychus, as it is a Greek name and the event is specific to the New Testament narrative. However, the concept of divine intervention and miraculous restoration can be related to various Hebrew terms associated with life and resurrection, such as חַי (chay, Strong's Hebrew 2416) meaning "life," and קוּם (qum, Strong's Hebrew 6965) meaning "to rise" or "to stand up."

Usage: The name Eutychus appears in the New Testament, specifically in the Book of Acts, where he is a young man who experiences a miraculous event.

Context: Eutychus is a character mentioned in the New Testament in the Book of Acts 20:7-12. He is known for the incident that occurred during Paul's third missionary journey. The Apostle Paul was in Troas, and on the first day of the week, the believers gathered to break bread. Paul, intending to leave the next day, continued speaking until midnight. Eutychus, a young man, was sitting in a window and fell into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. Overcome by sleep, he fell from the third story and was picked up dead. However, Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him, saying, "Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him." Eutychus was brought back to life, and the people were greatly comforted by this miracle.

This account highlights the power of God working through Paul and serves as a testament to the early Christian community's faith and the miraculous signs that accompanied the spread of the Gospel. The story of Eutychus is often cited as an example of divine intervention and the importance of vigilance in spiritual matters.
