Mark 8:8

8 And they did eat and were filled: and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets.

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 people to sit down on the ground. And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke and gave to his disciples for to set before them. And they set them before the people.

7 And they had a few little fishes: and he blessed them and commanded them to be set before them.

8 And they did eat and were filled: and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets.

9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand. And he sent them away.

10 And immediately going up into a ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
