Marcos 8:19 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:19

When I brake the five loaves among five thousand
This, with what follows, chiefly regards the last question:

how many baskets full of fragments took ye up?
do not you remember? have you forgot what was so lately done? surely you cannot:

they say unto him, twelve.
Their memories were hereby refreshed, and they call to mind the exact number of the baskets of fragments that were taken up, which were above double the number of the loaves, the multitude were fed with.
