Luke Chapter 24, Verse 30
From BibleWiki
30: και εγενετο εν τω κατακλιθηναι αυτον μετ αυτων λαβων τον αρτον ευλογησεν και κλασας επεδιδου αυτοις
30: And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took
bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
30: And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took
bread and blessed and brake and gave to them.
Sat at meat. Reclined at the table, or while he was at supper.
He took bread and blessed it, &c. This was the office of the master of a feast, and perhaps this first attracted particularly their attention. Though he was in their house, yet he acted as master of the feast, as he used to do with them before his death. Perhaps, also, as he gave them the bread, they observed the prints in his hands, and they knew that it was Jesus. This was not a sacramental, but a common supper; yet Jesus sought a blessing on the food, and thus set an example to all his followers to acknowledge God in their daily gifts, and to seek his benediction in all their enjoyments.
- {2} "vanished" or, "ceased to be seen of them"
