Matthew 17:6
Douay-Rheims
And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.
Remigius of Auxerre
Whereas the holy Apostles fell upon their faces, that was a proof of their sanctity, for the saints are always described to fall upon their faces, but the wicked to fall backwardsa.
