===Other New Testament Accounts of the Eucharist=== Accounts of Eucharist services in the New Testament are often, though not always, denoted by the phrase "Breaking of the Bread." An early example of this phase being used for a Eucharist celebration occurs in the gospel of Luke when the resurrected Christ walks with two disciples on their journey to Emmaus. The disciples are unable to recognize Christ for who he was until "while he was at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him. (Luke 24:30–31)" After this they returned to Jerusalem, where "the two recounted what had taken place on the way and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread. (Luke 24:35)" This same phrase "Breaking of the Bread" is used to describe a core activity of the first Christian community: "They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to prayers... every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple areas and to breaking bread in their homes. (Acts 2:42–47)"

Saint Paul's conversion experience also contains an allusion to the Eucharist. The healing of Paul's blindness after seeing the Lord culminated when "He got up and was baptized, and when he had eaten, he recovered his strength (Acts 9:18–19)." This is an account of the sacraments of initiation through which Paul entered the Church: Baptism and Eucharist.
