Known in Breaking Bread
Commentators highlight that the disciples recognized Jesus not during his profound teaching on the road, but in the simple, familiar act of breaking bread. Several scholars suggest Luke intentionally used this phrase, which was associated with the Lord's Supper, to teach that Christ continues to reveal Himself to believers in a special way during communion.
