John 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

John 6:13

Therefore they gathered [them] together
The several broken bits of bread, which lay about upon the grass, which the people had left, after they had been sufficiently refreshed:

and filled twelve baskets;
every disciple had a basket filled:

with the fragments of the five barley loaves;
and it may be of the fishes also:

which remained over and above unto them that had eaten;
such a marvellous increase was there, through the power of Christ going along with them; insomuch that they multiplied to such a degree, either in the hands of the distributors, or of the eaters.
