Albert Barnes Commentary Acts 20:10

"And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life is in him." — Acts 20:10 (ASV)

And fell on him. Probably stretching himself on him as Elisha did on the Shunammite's son (2 Kings 4:33–35). It was an act of tenderness and compassion, evincing a strong desire to restore him to life.

Trouble not yourselves. They would doubtless be thrown into great consternation by such an event. Paul therefore endeavored to compose their minds by the assurance that he would live.

For his life is in him. He is restored to life. This has all the appearance of having been a miracle. Life was restored to him as Paul spoke.
