Mark 8:8

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

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 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.
9 About four thousand were there.
10 After sending them away, Yeshua got into the boat with his talmidim and went off to the district of Dalmanuta.
