Listen to the Church Militant explain why Jesus Christ broke the Bread infront of his Disciples:
Jesus Christ looking up to heaven to his father took that bread and broke it and gave it to his Disciples ..to show that he was the one in control. He broke his body remember he said earlier in his public ministry "I lay my life down freely" the Good Shepherd lays down his life for his Sheep the Good Shepherd lays down his life for his Sheep. Nobody takes his life from him. He lays it down freely. Jesus took that bread and broke it as a symbol to let them know that "I am doing this and he broke the bread and in breaking the bread and making the offering he makes himself the Priest he's making the offering but what he's offering is "himself" that bread is "Him".
