First sentence: This clause with its references to travel and eating from the coda of Luke's gospel, though infused here with the numinous and liturgical nuances that colour the coda itself, nonetheless accurately echoes the gospel writer's twin devices for advancing the narrative in its lengthy central section and for portraying its principal figure, Jesus, as a travelling benefactor and banqueter.
