Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.

Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The dread of being 'found naked' and the desire to be 'clothed' evokes Adam and Eve's discovery of nakedness and their covering after the fall. Paul does not want to be 'unclothed' but further clothed, reversing the shame of Eden's nakedness with a heavenly garment. Coherence with Paul's new-creation theme (5:17) supports the figural reading.
Medium confidence'Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him' deliberately inverts 'the eyes of both were opened' in Eden, where opened eyes brought shame and exile; here opened eyes at the breaking of bread bring recognition of the risen Lord. The verbal correspondence (eyes opened) plus reversal is a coherent Lukan new-creation motif. Volume is moderate; the allusion is widely recognized.
