Marcos 6:38 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:38

And he saith unto them, how many loaves have ye?
&c.] This he said, not as ignorant, but as willing to try their faith yet more, and that the after miracle might be more manifest and illustrious:

go and see;
meaning, either that they should examine their own store, if they had any; or rather go and see what was to be had upon the spot, among the company, for money;

and when they knew, they say five loaves and two fishes:
when they had made inquiry what provisions there were, and the most that could be got at any rate, they tell him, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, particularly, that there was a boy among the multitude that had five barley loaves, and two small fishes; and, at the same time, suggests, that they were nothing for so great a company.

Marcos 6:38 In-Context

36 Manda embora o povo para que possa ir aos campos e povoados vizinhos comprar algo para comer”.
37 Ele, porém, respondeu: “Deem-lhes vocês algo para comer”.Eles lhe disseram: “Isto exigiria duzentos denários! Devemos gastar tanto dinheiro em pão e dar-lhes de comer?”
38 Perguntou ele: “Quantos pães vocês têm? Verifiquem”.Quando ficaram sabendo, disseram: “Cinco pães e dois peixes”.
39 Então Jesus ordenou que fizessem todo o povo assentar-se em grupos na grama verde.
40 Assim, eles se assentaram em grupos de cem e de cinquenta.
