10  But Paul, going down, fell upon him, and embracing him said, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him."

10  And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life is in him.

10  When Paul had gone down to him, he laid himself over him and, embracing him, said, “Do not worry, for his soul is still within him.”
