What the Fathers say

Revelation 22:8

Eastern Fathers

Oecumenius

And when he says I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel. These things are interpreted in those that have arrived, when we also have demonstrated that the doctrines of the atheistic Greeks about their national leaders have nothing in common with the purest doctrines of the church.

Western Saints

Bede

I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel, etc. Either he repeated what he had once done, not daring to attempt it again after being restrained, or, struck by the great amazement of the visions, he confesses he wanted to worship again.
