Atos 20:36 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 20:36

And when he had thus spoken
And finished his speech to the elders: he kneeled down: upon the floor, which was a prayer gesture, used by Christ, and others; for, it seems, the disuse of kneeling in prayer, between the passover and pentecost, which Tertullian F11, and other writers, speak of, had not yet obtained, which was in memory of Christ's resurrection from the dead, for this was now the time: see ( Acts 20:6 Acts 20:16 ) and

prayed with them all:
and no doubt for them all; the Syriac version renders it, "and he prayed, and all the men with him"; the apostle, and the elders, joined together in prayer.

Atos 20:36 In-Context

34 Vós mesmos sabeis que estas mãos proveram as minhas necessidades e as dos que estavam comigo.
35 Em tudo vos dei o exemplo de que assim trabalhando, é necessário socorrer os enfermos, recordando as palavras do Senhor Jesus, porquanto ele mesmo disse: Coisa mais bem-aventurada é dar do que receber.
36 Havendo dito isto, pôs-se de joelhos, e orou com todos eles.
37 E levantou-se um grande pranto entre todos, e lançando-se ao pescoço de Paulo, beijavam-no.
38 entristecendo-se principalmente pela palavra que dissera, que não veriam mais o seu rosto. E eles o acompanharam até o navio.
