Verses 35-36
The disciples assumed that Jesus wanted the people to provide their own suppers. They reminded Jesus of the time so He could dismiss them. Jesus had something else in mind. He wanted to teach the disciples and the multitudes to look to Him for their needs. He was the ultimate source of all they needed.
"The extended conversation of Jesus with his disciples concerning bread is the distinctive element in the Marcan account of the feeding of the multitude." [Note: Lane, p. 228.]
Bread is the pervading motif of Mark 6:14 to Mark 8:30. [Note: Ibid., p. 210.]
