Contextual Overview
1 Another time there were many people with Jesus. The people had nothing to eat. So he called his followers to him and said, 2 "I feel sorry for these people. They have been with me for three days, and now they have nothing to eat. 3 I should not send them home hungry. If they leave without eating, they will faint on the way home. Some of them live a long way from here." 4 Jesus' followers answered, "But we are far away from any towns. Where can we get enough bread to feed all these people?" 5 Then Jesus asked them, "How many loaves of bread do you have?" They answered, "We have seven loaves of bread." 6 Jesus told the people to sit on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and gave thanks to God. He broke the bread into pieces and gave them to his followers. He told them to give the bread to the people, and they did as he said. 7 The followers also had a few small fish. Jesus gave thanks for the fish and told them to give the fish to the people. 8 They all ate until they were full. Then the followers filled seven baskets with the pieces of food that were left. 9 There were about 4000 men who ate. After they ate, Jesus told them to go home.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
In those days,.... The Ethiopic version reads, on that day; as if it was on the same day that the deaf man was healed; and so it might be; and on the third day from Christ's coming into those parts; and so is very properly expressed, "in those days"; see Mark 7:31, compared with the following verse:
the multitude being very great: for the number of men that ate, when the following miracle was wrought, were about four thousand; see Mark 8:9. The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions add, "again"; referring to the former miracle of the five thousand, who were fed with five loaves, and two fishes, Mark 6:44.
And having nothing to eat; what they might have brought with them being expended, and they in a desert, where nothing was to be had, nor bought for money:
Jesus called his disciples to him, and saith unto them;
Mark 6:44- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 15:32-39.
Mark 8:1
In those days - While in the wilderness, where he had cured the deaf-mute man.
Having nothing to eat - Having come unprovided, or having consumed what they had brought.
Mark 8:2
I have compassions - I pity their condition. I am disposed to relieve them.
Mark 8:9
Four thousand - Four thousand “men,” besides women and children. See Matthew 15:38. See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 15:32-39.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VIII.
Four thousand persons fed with seven loaves and a few small
fishes, 1-8.
Christ refuses to give any farther sign to the impertinent
Pharisees, 10-12.
Warns his disciples against the corrupt doctrine of the
Pharisees and of Herod, 13-21.
He restores sight to a blind man, 22-26.
Asks his disciples what the public thought of him, 27-30.
Acknowledges himself to be the Christ, and that he must suffer,
31-33.
And shows that all his genuine disciples must take up their
cross, suffer in his cause, and confess him before men, 34-38.
NOTES ON CHAP. VIII.
Verse Mark 8:1. The multitude being very great — Or rather, There was again a great multitude. Instead of παμπολλου, very great, I read παλιν πολλου, again a great, which is the reading of BDGLM, fourteen others, all the Arabic, Coptic, AEthiopic, Armenian, Gothic, Vulgate, and Itala, and of many Evangelistaria. Griesbach approves of this reading. There had been such a multitude gathered together once before, who were fed in the same way. See Mark 6:34, &c.
