Ephesians 3:14

I bow my knees (kamptw ta gonata mou). He now prays whether he had at first intended to do so at Galatians 3:1 or not. Calvin supposes that Paul knelt as he dictated this prayer, but this is not necessary. This was a common attitude in prayer ( Luke 22:41 ; Acts 7:40 ; Acts 20:36 ; Acts 21:5 ), though standing is also frequent ( Mark 11:25 ; Luke 18:11 Luke 18:13 ).
