What the Fathers say

Acts 20:36

Eastern Fathers

John Chrysostom

He prayed over them while exhorting them: he shows it both by action - "And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all" - he did not simply pray, but with much feeling: great was the consolation - and by his saying, "I commend you to the Lord."

Theophylact of Ohrid

It should be noted that the one who is departing ought to kneel and pray with all those present, and only then depart.
