Context of Luke 24:30

28And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he made as though he would go farther. 29And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them. And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them. 31And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him. And he disappeared from them. 32And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, [and] as he opened the scriptures to us?

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 30Sat at meat - Reclined at the table, or while he was at supper. He took bread and blessed it … - 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…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 28-35Verses 28-35 If we would have Christ dwell with us, we must be earnest with him. Those that have experienced the pleasure and profit of communion with him, cannot but desire more of his company. He took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
