Contextual Overview

1 In those days, there being, again a large multitude, and they not having any thing to eat, calling near the disciples, he saith unto them - 2 I am moved with compassion towards the multitude, because, already three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat; 3 and, if dismiss them fasting unto their home, they will be exhausted in the way, - and, certain of them, are, from afar. 4 And his disciples answered him - Whence shall any one be able, here, to fill, these, with bread, in a desert? 5 And he was questioning them - How many loaves have ye? and they said - Seven. 6 And he sendeth word to the multitude, to fall back upon the ground. And, taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he brake, and was giving unto his disciples, that they might be setting before them; and they set before the multitude. 7 And they had a few small fishes; and, blessing them, he bade them set, these also, before them. 8 And they did eat, and were filled, and took up remainders of broken pieces, seven hampers. 9 Now they were about four thousand; and he dismissed them.

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.
