Mark 8:8

8 And they ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces that were left, seven baskets [full].

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 crowd to recline for a meal on the ground, and taking the seven loaves, [after he] had given thanks he broke [them] and began giving [them] to his disciples so that they could set [them] before [them]. And they set [them] before the crowd.

7 And they had a few small fish, and [after] giving thanks for them, he said to set these [before them] also.

8 And they ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces that were left, seven baskets [full].

9 Now there were about four thousand. And he sent them away.

10 And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples [and] went to the district of Dalmanutha.
