Matius 4:9
Konteks4:9 And he said to him, “I will give you all these things if you throw yourself to the ground and worship 1 me.”
Matius 14:33
Konteks14:33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
Matius 15:25
Konteks15:25 But she came and bowed down 2 before him and said, 3 “Lord, help me!”
[4:9] 1 tn Grk “if, falling down, you will worship.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”
[15:25] 2 tn In this context the verb προσκυνέω (proskunew), which often describes worship, probably means simply bowing down to the ground in an act of reverence or supplication (see L&N 17.21).
