Luke Chapter 24, Verse 52
From BibleWiki
52: και αυτοι προσκυνησαντες αυτον υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ μετα χαρας μεγαλης
52: And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great
joy:
52: And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy.
They worshipped him. The word worship does not always denote
religious homage. See "Mt 2:11".
Comp. Lk 14:10. But here it is to be remarked, that they offered this worship to an absent Saviour. It was after he left them and had vanished out of their sight. It was therefore an act of religion, and was the first religious homage that was paid to Jesus after he had left the world.
