Mark 8:8

8 So they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that were left, 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 he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they set [them] before the people.

7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].

8 So they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that were left, seven baskets.

9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he dismissed them.

10 And forthwith he entered into a boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
