Happy Sabbath!

Luke 24:30-35
And it came to pass, as HE sat at meat with them, HE took
bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them…

…and how HE was known of them in breaking of bread.

1. They did not recognize that it was Jesus in
the first place.
2. They gave Jesus the privilege to bless and
break the bread.
3. They recognize Jesus just the moment He
broke the bread.
HOW???
Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible
" (This is possibly worded in such a way so
that Luke’s readers can recognize that He is also
made known to them in the breaking of bread
at the Lord’s table, and can therefore identify
with this incident)."
Ellicot's Commentary for English Readers
"(35) He was known of them in breaking of
bread.—The use by St. Luke of a term which, when
he wrote, had already acquired a definite
secondary meaning, as applied to “breaking bread
“in the Supper of the Lord (Acts 2:42; Acts 2:46; 1
Corinthians 10:16), is every way significant. He
meant men to connect the recognition at Emmaus
with their daily or weekly communion in the Body
and Blood of Christ."
Cambridge Greek Testament for Schools and Colleges
"‘In the breaking of the bread.’ The articles are important as
giving to the act a sacramental character. It has been objected
that Cleopas and his companion, not being Apostles, had not
been present at the institution of the Lord’s Supper; but this was
by no means the only occasion on which Christ had solemnly
broken bread and blessed it (see Luke 9:16). St Mark adds that
some of the disciples received even this narrative with distrust
(Mark 16:13), which once more proves that, so far from being
heated enthusiasts ready to accept any hallucination, they
shewed on the contrary a most cautious reluctance in accepting
even the most circumstantial evidence."
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
"and how he was known of them in breaking bread;
that so it was, that whilst he was breaking bread, and
giving it to them, and they were eating together, their
eyes were opened, and they saw plainly who he was:
now, though this was a common meal, and not the
ordinance of the Lord's supper, yet since Christ made
himself known to his disciples at an ordinary meal, may
not his followers expect that he will make himself known
to them, and grant them communion with him at his
table? and which should be no small argument to engage
believers to a constant attendance on it."
The Fourfold Gospel Bible Commentary
"And they rehearsed . . . how he was
known of them in the breaking of the
bread. This does not mean that they knew
Jesus because of any peculiar way in which
he broke the bread; it means that he was
revealed at the time when he broke it
(Luke 24:30,31)."
 
Desire of Ages, p. 800
“The simple evening meal of bread is soon
prepared. It is placed before the guest, who
has taken HIS seat at the head of the table.
Now HE puts forth HIS hands to bless the
food. The disciples start back in
astonishment. Their companion spreads
forth HIS hands in exactly the same way as
their Master used to do.”
Desire of Ages, p. 800

“They look again, and lo, they see in HIS

hands the print of nails.”

Galatians 2:20
Kami ginasakit sa tanang paagi, apan
wala manghiubos;
nangalibog, apan wala kawad-i sa
paglaum;
ginalutos, apan wala ikapanugyan;
gipamunalan hangtud sa pagkapukan,
apan wala mangalaglag;
