Mark 8:6

And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground
(See Gill on Matthew 15:35);

and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake them;
(See Gill on Matthew 15:36);

and gave to his disciples to set before [them],
the multitude,

and they did set [them] before the people;
in which they were obedient to their Lord's commands, though they were so forgetful, unbelieving, and stupid.

Mark 8:6 In-Context

4 His talmidim said to him, "How can anyone find enough bread to satisfy these people in a remote place like this?"

5 "How many loaves do you have?" he asked them. They answered, "Seven."

6 He then told the crowd to sit down on the ground, took the seven loaves, made a b'rakhah, broke the loaves and gave them to his talmidim to serve to the people.

7 They also had a few fish; making a b'rakhah over them he also ordered these to be served.

8 The people ate their fill; and the talmidim took up the leftover pieces, seven large basketsful.
