Mark 8:8

8 And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.

Mark 8:8 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:8

So they did eat, and were filled
Christ and his disciples, and the whole multitude: they not only had some, but they had all enough, a full meal. It was surprising that it could be divided so, is that every one should have a bit; but that they should all be satisfied to the full, is amazing:

and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets;
as many as there were loaves; (See Gill on Matthew 15:37).

Mark 8:8 In-Context

6 And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people.

7 And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.

8 And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.

9 And there were about four thousand people: and he sent them away.

10 And he got into the boat with his disciples straight away, and came into the country of Dalmanutha.
