8 The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
8 And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.
8 The crowd ate its fill. Seven sacks of leftovers were collected.
8 So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments.
8 They ate as much as they wanted. Afterward, the disciples picked up seven large baskets of leftover food.

Commentary on Mark 8:1-10
(Read Mark 8:1-10)
Our Lord Jesus encouraged the meanest to come to him for life and grace. Christ knows and considers our frames. The bounty of Christ is always ready; to show that, he repeated this miracle. His favours are renewed, as our wants and necessities are. And those need not fear want, who have Christ to live upon by faith, and do so with thanksgiving.
