Mark 8:8

8 So they ate and were filled; and they took up of the broken food 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 multitude to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves and having given thanks, he broke them and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.

7 And they also 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 food that was left seven baskets.

9 And those that had eaten were about four thousand; and he dispatched them.

10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
