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 told the crowd to sit on the ground. He took the seven loaves, gave thanks, broke them apart, and gave them to his disciples to distribute; and they gave the bread to the crowd.
7 They also had a few fish. He said a blessing over them, then gave them to the disciples to hand out also.
8 They ate until they were full. They collected seven baskets full of leftovers.
9 This was a crowd of about four thousand people! Jesus sent them away,
10 then got into a boat with his disciples and went over to the region of Dalmanutha.
