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.

42 and all ate, and were fulfilled. [and all men ate, and were filled.]

43 And they took the remnants of broken meats, twelve baskets full [And they took the reliefs of broken meat, twelve coffins full], and of the fishes.

44 And they that ate, were five thousand of men.

45 And at once he made his disciples to go up into a boat, to pass before him over the sea to Bethsaida, while he let go the people. [And anon he constrained his disciples to ascend into a boat, that they should go before him over the sea to Bethsaida, while he left the people.]
