Translation Note
προσεκύνησαν is a verb, aorist active indicative, 3rd person plural, from προσκυνέω. Dodson’s range is “I go down on my knees to, do obeisance to, worship.” The same sentence says they took hold of his feet.
The King James Version reads “worshipped him.” The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) reads “did obeisance to him.” The opening clause of the King James verse, “And as they went to tell his disciples,” is in the Textus Receptus and is not in the SBL text printed first on this page.
