Acts20:37
Wept sore. Wept much. Greek, "There was a great weeping of all."
And fell on, Paul's neck. Embraced him, as a token of tender affection. The same thing Joseph did when he met his aged father Jacob, Gen 46:29.
And kissed him. This was the common token of affection. Note, Mt 26:48, Lk 15:20, Rom 16:16, 1Cor 16:20.
(b) "fell on Paul's neck" Gen 46:29.
