Mark 6:43

43 καὶ ἦραν κλάσματα δώδεκα κοφίνων πληρώματα ⸃ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἰχθύων.

Mark 6:43 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:43

And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments
Of the broken pieces of bread, after all had eaten, and were satisfied:

and of the fishes;
what remained of them:, for though there was but one loaf for a thousand persons and more, and two small fishes to be divided among five thousand and more: yet, through the wonderful power of Christ increasing both, as they were distributing and eating, there was enough of both for them all, and such a quantity of each left as filled twelve baskets.

Mark 6:43 In-Context

41 καὶ λαβὼν τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εὐλόγησεν καὶ κατέκλασεν τοὺς ἄρτους καὶ ἐδίδου τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ ἵνα παρατιθῶσιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας ἐμέρισεν πᾶσιν.

42 καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν ·

43 καὶ ἦραν κλάσματα δώδεκα κοφίνων πληρώματα ⸃ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἰχθύων.

44 καὶ ἦσαν οἱ φαγόντες τοὺς ἄρτους ⸃ πεντακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες.

45 Καὶ εὐθὺς ἠνάγκασεν τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ ἐμβῆναι εἰς τὸ πλοῖον καὶ προάγειν εἰς τὸ πέραν ⸃ πρὸς Βηθσαϊδάν, ἕως αὐτὸς ἀπολύει τὸν ὄχλον.
