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.
