κατακλάω G2622
broke, broke in pieces, snapped or fractured something, especially bread
This verb means to break into pieces, often used for breaking bread. In Mark 6:41 and Luke 9:16, Jesus feeds the multitudes: he 'broke (κατέκλασεν) the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people.' The action is both practical (dividing the bread for distribution) and symbolic (anticipating the Last Supper and Eucharist, where Jesus' body is broken for many). The term evokes not just fracture but the generosity of the breaking—bread multiplied as it is shared, bodies nourished through Jesus' blessing and breaking.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Both occurrences describe Jesus breaking loaves in the feeding miracles (the 5,000 and the 4,000). Classical usage (LSJ) includes snapping off, breaking down, even bowing the neck. Spanish 'partir' (to break/divide) and French 'rompre' (to break) fit the bread-breaking action. The Gospels present the breaking as a moment of transformation: ordinary loaves become abundant provision through Jesus' thanksgiving and distribution. The verb's use foreshadows the passion, where Jesus' body is broken, and the Eucharist, where believers remember that breaking. 2×
