Luke 24
1. Jesus' resurrection is declared by two angels to the women who come to the tomb.
9. They report it to others.
13. Jesus himself appears to the two disciples that went to Emmaus;
36. afterwards he appears to the apostles, and reproves their unbelief;
47. gives them a charge;
49. promises the Holy Spirit;
50. and so ascends into heaven.














Then the two told
This phrase refers to the two disciples who had encountered Jesus on the road to Emmaus. The Greek word for "told" is "exēgeomai," which means to declare or explain in detail. This indicates that the disciples were not merely recounting an event but were providing a detailed and enthusiastic testimony of their experience. Their encounter with the risen Christ was transformative, compelling them to share the good news with others. This reflects the Christian call to witness and evangelize, sharing personal experiences of Christ's work in our lives.

what had happened on the road
The phrase "what had happened" suggests a significant event or revelation. The road to Emmaus is symbolic of the journey of faith, where understanding and revelation occur. Historically, roads were places of travel and communication, and in this context, it becomes a metaphor for the journey of understanding the Scriptures and recognizing Jesus. The disciples' journey on the road represents the spiritual journey of believers, moving from confusion to clarity, from despair to hope.

and how Jesus
The mention of "Jesus" here is central to the narrative. The name "Jesus" is derived from the Hebrew "Yeshua," meaning "The Lord is salvation." This emphasizes the role of Jesus as the Savior, whose resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian faith. The disciples' recognition of Jesus is a pivotal moment, highlighting the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the realization of God's redemptive plan through Christ.

was recognized by them
The Greek word for "recognized" is "ginōskō," which implies a deep, personal knowledge or understanding. This recognition was not merely visual but spiritual, as their eyes were opened to the truth of Jesus' identity and mission. This moment of recognition signifies the work of the Holy Spirit in revealing Christ to believers, transforming their understanding and relationship with Him.

when He broke the bread
Breaking bread is a significant act, reminiscent of the Last Supper and the institution of the Eucharist. In Jewish tradition, breaking bread was a common practice, symbolizing fellowship and community. Here, it becomes a sacramental act, revealing Jesus' presence and reinforcing the importance of communion in Christian worship. The act of breaking bread serves as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice and the unity of believers in Him. It is a call to remember and celebrate the new covenant established through His death and resurrection.

(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; 1Corinthians 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.

Verse 35. - And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. The two travellers now relate to the eleven their wondrous story. The words used by Cleopas and his friend in their narration, ἐν τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου, which should be rendered," in the breaking of the bread," are significant. It is an expression which, at the time when St. Luke wrote his Gospel, had acquired a definite meaning in the language of the Christian Church, and was applied to breaking bread in the "Supper of the Lord" (see Acts 2:42, 46; 1 Corinthians 10:16). While they were speaking together, the personal appearance of the Lord was vouchsafed to them; for, of a sudden, he stood in the midst and spoke to them!
