This miracle took place in a remote area near Bethsaida, emphasizing Jesus' compassion for the crowd's physical and spiritual needs.how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect? The collection of leftovers signifies God's provision and abundance, ensuring nothing is wasted. The Greek word for "basketfuls" used here is "kophinos," a type of basket commonly used by Jews, indicating the Jewish context of the miracle. This act of gathering the remnants underscores the importance of stewardship and gratitude for God's blessings. It also serves as a tangible reminder of the miracle for the disciples, reinforcing their faith.“Twelve,” they answered. The number twelve is significant in biblical symbolism, often representing completeness and the twelve tribes of Israel. This connection suggests that Jesus' provision is sufficient for all of God's people. The disciples' response indicates their direct involvement in the miracle, as they were the ones distributing the food and collecting the leftovers. This experience was meant to teach them about reliance on Jesus and the sufficiency of His provision, foreshadowing their future role in spreading the Gospel to the twelve tribes and beyond.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> The central figure in this passage, Jesus is teaching His disciples about faith and understanding through the miracle of feeding the five thousand. 2. <a href="/topical/d/disciples.htm">Disciples</a> The followers of Jesus who witnessed the miracle and are being questioned by Him to recall the event and its significance. 3. <a href="/topical/f/five_thousand.htm">Five Thousand</a> Refers to the multitude that Jesus fed with five loaves and two fish, highlighting His divine provision. 4. <a href="/topical/b/basketfuls_of_broken_pieces.htm">Basketfuls of Broken Pieces</a> The remnants collected after the miracle, symbolizing abundance and God's provision. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_miracle_of_feeding_the_five_thousand.htm">The Miracle of Feeding the Five Thousand</a> An event where Jesus miraculously fed a large crowd, demonstrating His power and compassion.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/d/divine_provision.htm">Divine Provision</a> Jesus' ability to provide abundantly from limited resources demonstrates God's power and care for His people. <a href="/topical/f/faith_and_understanding.htm">Faith and Understanding</a> The disciples' need to recall the miracle serves as a reminder for believers to remember God's past faithfulness in times of doubt. <a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_twelve_baskets.htm">Symbolism of Twelve Baskets</a> The twelve baskets of leftovers symbolize the completeness and sufficiency of God's provision, possibly representing the twelve tribes of Israel. <a href="/topical/g/gratitude_and_stewardship.htm">Gratitude and Stewardship</a> Collecting the leftovers teaches the importance of gratitude and stewardship of God's blessings. <a href="/topical/s/spiritual_nourishment.htm">Spiritual Nourishment</a> Beyond physical sustenance, Jesus offers spiritual nourishment, inviting believers to seek Him as the source of life.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_mark_8.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Mark 8</a> <a href="/q/should_you_separate_yourself_from_them.htm">What miracles did Jesus perform according to the Bible?</a> <a href="/q/how_were_4,000_fed_with_few_loaves_fish.htm">In Mark 8:1-9, how can 4,000 people be fed with just a few loaves and fish without violating natural laws?</a> <a href="/q/how_did_5_loaves,_2_fish_feed_thousands.htm">In Matthew 14:15-21, how can five loaves and two fish realistically feed thousands of people?</a> <a href="/q/why_do_miracle_accounts_differ_in_gospels.htm">Why do the accounts of the same miracle differ between Matthew 14 and the other Gospels, possibly indicating inconsistencies?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/mark/8.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(19-20) How many baskets . . .?--The words for "baskets" are, as has been said, different in the two verses.
