And Jesus came and touched them, and said,
Arise, and be not afraid.
All Commentaries on Matthew 17:7 Go To Matthew 17
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
And Jesus came and touched. The terrified disciples were still prostrate on the ground, and unable to rise, when Jesus, with his usual benevolence, approaches, touches them, expels their fear, and restores them to the use of their limbs. (St. Jerome)
