马可福音 6:43 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:42-43

They did all eat, and were filled ( ἐχορτάσθησαν ). It might be rendered, were fulfilled , according to the old meaning of "fulfill." It is probable that the women and children were a considerable number; for they would be, if possible, even more eager then the men to see the great Prophet. When all had eaten and were satisfied, they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes. St. John tells us that this was done by the express command of Christ ( John 6:12... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:43

Spiritual economy. From other accounts we learn that this measure was ordered by Christ. The power and the restraint of Christ are about equally demonstrative of his divinity. A strict and immediate economy is demanded in his kingdom. We are to appreciate the grace received; its very fragments are to be precious. The life and work of the Christian have to exhibit a wise and careful stewardship. This direction— I. IS A SOLUTION TO ONE OF THE GREATEST DIFFICULTIES IN ... read more

And they sat down in ranks Or rather, in squares, as Campbell renders πρασιαι , observing, “The word denotes a small plat, such as a flower-bed in a garden. It has this meaning in Eccl 24:31. I do not find it in the LXX., or in any other part of the New Testament. These beds were in the form of oblong squares. The word is therefore... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 6:30-44

65. Feeding the five thousand (Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-14)When the apostles returned from their first tour around the country areas, they met Jesus in Galilee and tried to have a quiet time alone with him (Mark 6:30-32; John 6:1). Jesus also was in need of a rest, but he was filled with pity when he saw the crowds of people flocking to him in their need. They appeared to him as a flock of spiritually starved sheep that had no food because there was no shepherd to... read more

43. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes—"Therefore (says John 6:13), they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten." The article here rendered "baskets" in all the four narratives was part of the luggage taken by Jews on a journey—to carry, it is said, both their provisions and hay to sleep on, that they might not have to depend on Gentiles, and so... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 6:42-44

The abundance and adequacy of Jesus’ provision were obvious in the amount of food that remained uneaten. The baskets (Gr. kophinoi) were large wicker ones, though there was not much food left over. Some authorities believe kophinoi describes small baskets, but most believe they were large. Jesus provides generously, but He does not provide so extravagantly that there is needless waste.This miracle revealed the person of Jesus to the multitudes, but it was its effect on the disciples that Mark... read more
