Luke 24:30-31, 35
This moment takes place after Jesus’ resurrection, when two of His disciples, Cleopas and another, are walking to Emmaus, unaware that the risen Jesus is with them. They only realize His identity when He breaks bread with them.
Biblical Passage: Luke 24:30-31, 35 (KJV)
"And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight."
"And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread."
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
Dalí’s depiction would likely emphasize the spiritual awakening of the disciples, the divine mystery of the Eucharist, and the supernatural nature of Christ’s resurrection. Through surreal imagery, glowing light, and dreamlike distortions, Dalí would capture the moment when faith opens the eyes to see Jesus in the sacramental act.
