Contextual Overview
1 Another time there was a great crowd with Jesus that had nothing to eat. So Jesus called his followers and said, 2 "I feel sorry for these people, because they have already been with me for three days, and they have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will faint on the way. Some of them live a long way from here." 4 Jesus' followers answered, "How can we get enough bread to feed all these people? We are far away from any town." 5 Jesus asked, "How many loaves of bread do you have?" They answered, "Seven." 6 Jesus told the people to sit on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, gave thanks to God, and divided the bread. He gave the pieces to his followers to give to the people, and they did so. 7 The followers also had a few small fish. After Jesus gave thanks for the fish, he told his followers to give them to the people also. 8 All the people ate and were satisfied. Then his followers filled seven baskets with the leftover pieces of food. 9 There were about four thousand people who ate. After they had eaten, Jesus sent them home.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
I have compassion on the multitude,.... Christ is a compassionate Saviour both of the bodies and souls of men: he had compassion on the souls of this multitude, and therefore had been teaching them sound doctrine and he had compassion on the bodies of many of them, and had healed them of their diseases; and his bowels yearned towards them all;
because, says he,
they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat; for if they brought any food with them, it was all spent, and they were in a wilderness, where nothing was to be got; where they had no house to go into, nor bed to lie upon, and no provisions to be bought; and in this case they had been two nights and three days; which showed great affection and zeal in these people, and a close attachment to Christ, in exposing themselves to all these difficulties and hardships, which they seemed to bear with much patience and unconcernedness. The Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions prefix the word "behold" to this clause, as expressing admiration at their stay with him so long in such a place.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 15:32-39.
Mark 8:1
In those days - While in the wilderness, where he had cured the deaf-mute man.
Having nothing to eat - Having come unprovided, or having consumed what they had brought.
Mark 8:2
I have compassions - I pity their condition. I am disposed to relieve them.
Mark 8:9
Four thousand - Four thousand âmen,â besides women and children. See Matthew 15:38. See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 15:32-39.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Mark 8:2. Having nothing to eat — If they had brought any provisions with them, they were now entirely expended; and they stood in immediate need of a supply.
