Marcos 8:1 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:1

In those days
The Ethiopic version reads, on that day; as if it was on the same day that the deaf man was healed; and so it might be; and on the third day from Christ's coming into those parts; and so is very properly expressed, "in those days"; see ( Mark 7:31 ) , compared with the following verse:

the multitude being very great:
for the number of men that ate, when the following miracle was wrought, were about four thousand; see ( Mark 8:9 ) . The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions add, "again"; referring to the former miracle of the five thousand, who were fed with five loaves, and two fishes, ( Mark 6:44 ) .

And having nothing to eat;
what they might have brought with them being expended, and they in a desert, where nothing was to be had, nor bought for money:

Jesus called his disciples to him, and saith unto them;
(See Gill on Matthew 15:32).

Marcos 8:1 In-Context

1 Naqueles dias, havendo de novo uma grande multidão, e não tendo o que comer, chamou Jesus os discípulos e disse-lhes:

2 Tenho compaixão da multidão, porque já faz três dias que eles estão comigo, e não têm o que comer.

3 Se eu os mandar em jejum para suas casas, desfalecerão no caminho; e alguns deles vieram de longe.

4 E seus discípulos lhe responderam: Donde poderá alguém satisfazê-los de pão aqui no deserto?

5 Perguntou-lhes Jesus: Quantos pães tendes? Responderam: Sete.
