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 Jesus told the people to sit on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, gave thanks to God, and divided the bread. He gave the pieces to his followers to give to the people, and they did so.

7 The followers also had a few small fish. After Jesus gave thanks for the fish, he told his followers to give them to the people also.

8 All the people ate and were satisfied. Then his followers filled seven baskets with the leftover pieces of food.

9 There were about four thousand people who ate. After they had eaten, Jesus sent them home.

10 Then right away he got into a boat with his followers and went to the area of Dalmanutha.
