With a holy kiss (
en pilhmati agiwi). In the synagogue men kissed men and women kissed women. This was the Christian custom at a later date and apparently so here. See
1 Thessalonians 5:26 ;
2 Corinthians 13:12 ;
Romans 3:8 ;
1 Peter 5:14 . It seems never to have been promiscuous between the sexes.
