They held him by the feet.
This seems to have been done to kiss his feet. So 2 Kings IV. 27. For this was not unusual. As R. Janni and R. Jonathan were sitting together, a certain man came, and kissed the feet of R. Jonathan. x 1.4 Compare the Evangelists here, and you will find that this was done by Mary Magdalen only, who formerly had kissed Christs feet, and who had gone twice to the Sepulchre, however Matthew makes mention but of once going. The story in short is thus to be laid together. At the first dawning of the morning, Christ arose; a great earthquake hapning at that time. About the same time Magdalen, and the other women, left their houses to go to the Sepulchre: While they met together, and made all things ready, and took their journey to the Tomb, the Sun was up. When they were come they are informed by the Angels of his resurrection, and sent back to the Disciples. The matter being told to the Disciples, Peter and John run to the Se∣pulchre, Magdalen also followed after them. They having seen the signs of the resur∣rection, return to their company, but she stayes there. Being ready to return back Christ appears to her taking him for the Gardiner. As soon as she knew him she wor∣ships him, and embracing his feet, kisseth them; and this is the history before us; which Matthew relates in the plural number, running it over briefly and compendiously, ac∣cording to his manner.
