THE TWO DISCIPLES ON THE WAY TO EMMAUS RECOGNIZED JESUS

• A. while he was teaching
• B. before they got to the village
• C. when they got to Jerusalem
• D. at the breaking of bread while at the table ✓

The answer to the question is: D. at the breaking of bread while at the table

The two disciples on the way to Emmaus recognized Jesus at the breaking of bread while at the table. This event is described in the New Testament in the Gospel of Luke, specifically in Luke 24:13-35. According to the narrative, two of Jesus’ disciples were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus when they encountered a stranger who joined them on their journey. They did not recognize this stranger as Jesus until they reached their destination and sat down to eat. It was during the breaking of bread that their eyes were opened, and they realized that the stranger was indeed Jesus.

This story is significant in Christian theology as it is seen as a post-resurrection appearance of Jesus to his followers. The recognition of Jesus at the breaking of bread also holds symbolic importance within Christian traditions, particularly in relation to the Eucharist or Holy Communion.
