Answer 1

1. To guide the disciples on the road to Emmaus from doubt to faith, Jesus broke the bread after giving thanks.

2. In Acts 17:10-34, Paul reasoned with the Athenian philosophers that they had been worshipping the Almighty God (the unknown God) without actually realizing it.

What was the story of Jesus and the Emmaus disciples?

The story of Jesus and the disciples on the road to Emmaus showed that Jesus Christ after his resurrection continued to teach his disciples to grow and strengthen their faith.

However, we understand that reading and studying the Scriptures is not enough for faith to flourish.  Jesus used the breaking of bread to open the spiritual eyes of the disciples that he has risen indeed.

What happened in the Areopagus?

According to Acts 17: 10-34, Paul showed the Men of Athens that they built an altar dedicated to the unknown God.

It was the same unknown God that Paul came to Athens to reveal to the Athenians.

Thus, Jesus Christ used an object (bread) to clear the doubts of the disciples on the road to Emmaus, just as Paul used the altar dedicated to the unknown God to show the Athenians that they had known and worshipped the God he proclaimed.
