They all wept openly
This phrase highlights the deep emotional bond between Paul and the Ephesian elders. The act of weeping openly signifies genuine sorrow and affection, reflecting the close-knit community within the early church. In the cultural context of the time, public displays of emotion were not uncommon, especially in moments of farewell or loss. This scene underscores the impact of Paul's ministry and the love he fostered among the believers. The weeping also indicates the gravity of the moment, as Paul had warned them of the challenges and persecutions that lay ahead (Acts 20:29-31).

as they embraced Paul
The act of embracing is a physical expression of love and fellowship. In the Greco-Roman world, such gestures were common among friends and family, symbolizing unity and mutual support. This embrace signifies the strong spiritual and personal connection between Paul and the Ephesian elders. It also reflects the biblical principle of unity in the body of Christ, as seen in passages likeEphesians 4:3, where believers are encouraged to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

and kissed him
Kissing was a customary greeting and farewell gesture in the ancient Near East, often used to show respect, affection, and loyalty. In the New Testament, the "holy kiss" is mentioned as a sign of Christian fellowship (Romans 16:16,1 Corinthians 16:20). This act of kissing Paul is a demonstration of the deep respect and love the Ephesian elders had for him. It also serves as a poignant reminder of the personal sacrifices and relationships that are part of Christian ministry. The kiss, in this context, is a symbol of the heartfelt connection and the sorrow of parting, as Paul had shared his life and teachings with them, embodying the love of Christ.

Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from Acts 20

How can faith provide strength in challenging times?

What defines a spiritual awakening?

What should be done when a pastor leaves?

Did Paul's claim that his listeners would never see him again (Acts 20:25) prove accurate, and how can this be confirmed?(37)Fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him.--We note, as before inActs 20:19, the absence of any suppression of emotion. As David and Jonathan parted of old (1Samuel 20:41), so did St. Paul and his fellow-workers part now. In2Timothy 1:4 we have a passing reference to another parting scene of perhaps even tenderer emotion. To think that they should see his face no more, that this was their last farewell, made the elders of Ephesus and the other disciples eager, up to the very hour of embarkation, for the last embrace.
