So they did eat, and were filled,.... Christ and his disciples, and the whole multitude: they not only had some, but they had all enough, a full meal. It was surprising that it could be divided so, is that every one should have a bit; but that they should all be satisfied to the full, is amazing:
and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets; as many as there were loaves; Matthew 15:37.
