Mateus 15:38

38 Os que comeram foram quatro mil homens, sem contar mulheres e crianças.

Mateus 15:38 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 15:38

And they that did eat, were four thousand men
This number of men, as well as of the baskets of fragments, clearly shows this to be a distinct miracle from the former of this kind, recorded in ( Matthew 14:15-21 ) . There the number of men were five thousand, here four thousand; there the quantity of food was five loaves and two fishes, here seven loaves and a few fishes; there the number of the baskets of fragments was twelve, here seven; though the quantity might be as large; since the word here used for a basket is not the same as there, and designs one of a larger size:

besides women and children;
who were not taken into the account, though they ate as well as the men, and whose number might be very large.

Mateus 15:38 In-Context

36 Depois de tomar os sete pães e os peixes e dar graças, partiu-os e os entregou aos discípulos, e os discípulos à multidão.

37 Todos comeram até se fartar. E ajuntaram sete cestos cheios de pedaços que sobraram.

38 Os que comeram foram quatro mil homens, sem contar mulheres e crianças.

39 E, havendo despedido a multidão, Jesus entrou no barco e foi para a região de Magadã.
