John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Matthew 15:37
And they did all eat, and were filled
Every one had a share of the provision, and that to full
satisfaction; no one was overlooked and neglected, and everyone
had as much as he could eat:
and they took up of the broken meat that was left, seven
baskets
full.
The disciples, after they had distributed to everyone his
portion, went round, and collected the remaining fragments, and
filled seven baskets therewith, according to the number of the
loaves which were broken; and so had a full return for the loaves
and fishes they spared on this occasion.
