Verse 35. And they] The two disciples who were just come from Emmaus, related what had happened to them on the way, going to Emmaus, and how he had been known unto them in the breaking of bread, while supping together at the above village. See Clarke on Lu 24:31.

And they told what things were done in the way,…. That is, when the eleven had done speaking, and had finished their report, which they did with great joy and pleasure; then “these two disciples”, as the Persic version expresses it, to confirm them the more in the truth of Christ’s resurrection, gave them a particular account, how, as they were travelling, Jesus joined himself to them, and entered into a conversation with them, and opened the Scriptures in a sweet and powerful manner to them; and yet their eyes were holden all the while, so that they did not perceive who he was:

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.

Rehearsed (). Imperfect middle indicative of , verb to lead out, to rehearse. Our word exegesis comes from this verb. Their story was now confirmatory, not revolutionary. The women were right then after all.

Of them (). To them, dative case. They did not recognize Jesus in his exegesis, but did in the breaking of bread. One is reminded of that saying in the Logia of Jesus: “Raise the stone and there thou shalt find me, cleave the wood and there am I.”

They told [] . Rev., rehearsed is better, because the verb means to tell at length or relate in full.

1) “And they told what things were done in the way,” (kai autoi eksegounto ta en te hodo) “And then they (the two Emmaus disciples) recounted the things in the way,” how Jesus had suddenly come to them and explained at length from the law and the prophets all these things of Himself.

2) “And how he was known of them,” (kai hos egnothe autois) “And how he came-to be known by them,” when he had blessed the bread, Luk 24:16-30. They were witnessing of Him, “letting their light shine” as directed of the Lord, Mat 5:15-16; Act 1:8.

3) “In the breaking of the bread.” (en te klaseis tou artou) “In the breaking of the bread,” in their home or room as their early evening guest, Luk 24:31-32; Heb 13:1-2. The breaking of bread, sharing of bread, is a symbol of friend sharing with friend, Joh 15:13-17.

(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 (Act. 2:42; Act. 2:46; 1Co. 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.

35. And they told Mark says, nor believed they them, which Alford unwisely pronounces inconsistent with this passage. But the inconsistency is not in the Evangelists, but in the actors in the scene. They believed and they did not believe. They believed that a vision, or something, had taken place; they believed that Christ had risen and had been seen by Peter; and yet they could not realize the fact, either from strangeness or from joy. See note on Luk 24:41. It is probable that my readers and myself would have been in much the same state of mental ambiguity.

‘And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.’

Then the two from Emmaus told their story, explaining what had happened on their journey, and how Jesus had been made known to them in the breaking of bread. (This is possibly worded in such a way so that Luke’s readers can recognise that He is also made known to them in the breaking of bread at the Lord’s table, and can there identify with this incident).

Luk 24:35. And they; the two disciples on their part

In the breaking of the bread. The agency was Christ opening of their holden eyes, the instrumentality was that act during which the recognition took place. As this was not a celebration of the Lords Supper, the phrase cannot be used in support of Christs bodily presence in the Eucharist or of sacramental grace in general. The analogies, which are numerous, may be profitably used in illustration and exhortation: but the Evangelist simply states a fact.

These two witnesses then proceeded to tell others about their experiences with Jesus and who He is. They serve as models of what disciples of the risen Christ should do. The manner in which they came to recognize Him clearly impressed them. Perhaps Luke mentioned again that the disciples recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread since for Christians that happens whenever we observe the Lord’s Supper, though in a different sense.
