RBT Translation:

κατεφίλησεν - Kiss Down, fervently, Affectionately, Repeatedly

And immediately he who has drawn near to the Salvation, said, "Rejoice Teacher of Myself (Rabbi")!" And he kissed down fervently himself.

κατεφίλησεν (katéphīlēsen).

The verb καταφιλέω is a compound of κατά (kata, "down") and φιλέω (phíleō, "to kiss" or "to love"). κατεφίλησεν means "he/she kissed down" or "he/she kissed fervently". κατεφίλησεν indicates an action where someone kissed someone or something with emphasis or intensity, often used in a context where the act of kissing is thorough or deeply affectionate. In classical texts, it might describe a person kissing someone repeatedly or with great emotion.

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And quickly having come to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi! and kissed him.

LITV Translation:
And coming up at once to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi. And he ardently kissed Him.
