# Connecting Statement:
Paul ends his time with the elders of the church of Ephesus by praying with them.
# he knelt down and prayed
It was a common custom to kneel down while praying. It was a sign of humility before God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction]])
# embraced Paul
"hugged him closely" or "put their arms around him"
# kissed him
Kissing someone on the cheek is an expression of brotherly or friendly love in the Middle East.
# they would never see his face again
The word "face" here represents Paul's physical body. AT: "will not see me anymore on this earth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
