Notes

Mark 8:6–7

took … gave thanks … distributed: These terms describe the actions of Jesus during this event. These same actions appear later the Last Supper (compare 14:22–25).

Mark 8:1–10

The stories about feeding the 4,000 and the 5,000 are similar. All four Gospels report the earlier feeding of the 5,000 (6:35–44; Matthew 14:13–21; Luke 9:10–17; John 6:1–15). Only Mark and Matthew also record the feeding of the 4,000 as a separate miracle (Matthew 15:32–39; Mark 8:19–21; Matthew 16:9–10). The details of the events are different.
