Luke 24:30–32
They recognize him as he breaks the bread, and remember how their hearts burned
Study it word by word30And it happened, when he reclined at table with them, that taking the bread, he blessed it, and breaking it, he began giving it to them.
31And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from them.
32And they said to one another, “Was not our heart burning within us while he was speaking to us on the road, while he was opening to us the Scriptures?”
In its context
28And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he acted as though he were going farther.
29And they urged him, saying, “Stay with us, because it is toward evening and the day is already far spent.” And he went in to stay with them.
…
33And rising that very hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven gathered together, and those with them,
34saying, “The Lord has really been raised and has appeared to Simon!”
