The Captain went with the lad to the Commanding Officer, and said: "The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this lad to you, as he has something to tell you."

there is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

Jesus, therefore, saith to them, 'Lads, have ye any meat?'

and they brought up the lad alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure.

and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the lad was healed from that hour.

I am writing to you, fathers [those believers who are spiritually mature], because you know Him who has existed from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men [those believers who are growing in spiritual maturity], because you have been victorious and have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children [those who are new believers, those spiritually immature], because you have come to know the Father.

Children, it is the last hour [the end of this age]; and just as you heard that the antichrist is coming [the one who will oppose Christ and attempt to replace Him], even now many antichrists (false teachers) have appeared, which confirms our belief that it is the last hour.

Little children (believers, dear ones), do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who practices righteousness [the one who strives to live a consistently honorable life—in private as well as in public—and to conform to God’s precepts] is righteous, just as He is righteous.

wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed;

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith to him, Here is a lad, who hath five barley-loaves and two small fishes:

And he replied, "Teacher, I have [already] been observing all these commandments since I was a young lad."

And the lad said, "The Jews have plotted to ask you to take Paul down to the Council [meeting] tomorrow, as though you were going to question him further.

Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.

Paul called one of the Captains of the garrison and asked him to take the lad to the Commanding Officer, as he had something to tell him.

The Commanding Officer took the lad by the hand, and, stepping aside, asked what it was he had to tell him.

The Commanding Officer then dismissed the lad, cautioning him not to mention to anybody that he had given him that information.

and a youth of the name of Eutychus was sitting at the window. This lad, gradually sinking into deep sleep while Paul preached at unusual length, overcome at last by sleep, fell from the second floor and was taken up dead.
