Mark 8:8

8 So they ate and were filled; and they took up of the broken meat that was left, seven baskets.

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 commanded the people to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks and broke, and gave to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the people.

7 And they had a few small fishes, and He blessed them and commanded to set them also before them.

8 So they ate and were filled; and they took up of the broken meat that was left, seven baskets.

9 And those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away.

10 And straightway He entered into a boat with His disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
