24:35 In the breaking of bread - The Lord's Supper.
24:28-35 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 meets them at his table, in the ordinance of the Lord's supper; is known to them in breaking of bread.

It is of great use for the disciples of Christ to compare their experiences, and tell them to each other.
