“He prayed over them while exhorting them: he shows it both by action - "And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all" - he did not simply pray, but with much feeling: great was the consolation - and by his saying, "I commend you to the Lord."”
John Chrysostom, 5th c. — Homily on Acts 45

In context
34Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
— Acts 20:36 —
37And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,
38Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
