Contextual Overview
1 About this time another large crowd had gathered, and the people ran out of food again. Jesus called his disciples and told them, 2 "I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a long distance." 4 His disciples replied, "How are we supposed to find enough food to feed them out here in the wilderness?" 5 Jesus asked, "How much bread do you have?" "Seven loaves," they replied. 6 So Jesus told all the people to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, thanked God for them, and broke them into pieces. He gave them to his disciples, who distributed the bread to the crowd. 7 A few small fish were found, too, so Jesus also blessed these and told the disciples to distribute them. 8 They ate as much as they wanted. Afterward, the disciples picked up seven large baskets of leftover food. 9 There were about 4,000 men in the crowd that day, and Jesus sent them home after they had eaten.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
In those days,.... The Ethiopic version reads, on that day; as if it was on the same day that the deaf man was healed; and so it might be; and on the third day from Christ's coming into those parts; and so is very properly expressed, "in those days"; see Mark 7:31, compared with the following verse:
the multitude being very great: for the number of men that ate, when the following miracle was wrought, were about four thousand; see Mark 8:9. The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions add, "again"; referring to the former miracle of the five thousand, who were fed with five loaves, and two fishes, Mark 6:44.
And having nothing to eat; what they might have brought with them being expended, and they in a desert, where nothing was to be had, nor bought for money:
Jesus called his disciples to him, and saith unto them;
Mark 6:44- :.
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.

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
CHAPTER VIII.
Four thousand persons fed with seven loaves and a few small
fishes, 1-8.
Christ refuses to give any farther sign to the impertinent
Pharisees, 10-12.
Warns his disciples against the corrupt doctrine of the
Pharisees and of Herod, 13-21.
He restores sight to a blind man, 22-26.
Asks his disciples what the public thought of him, 27-30.
Acknowledges himself to be the Christ, and that he must suffer,
31-33.
And shows that all his genuine disciples must take up their
cross, suffer in his cause, and confess him before men, 34-38.
NOTES ON CHAP. VIII.
Verse Mark 8:1. The multitude being very great — Or rather, There was again a great multitude. Instead of ÏαμÏÎ¿Î»Î»Î¿Ï , very great, I read Ïαλιν ÏÎ¿Î»Î»Î¿Ï , again a great, which is the reading of BDGLM, fourteen others, all the Arabic, Coptic, AEthiopic, Armenian, Gothic, Vulgate, and Itala, and of many Evangelistaria. Griesbach approves of this reading. There had been such a multitude gathered together once before, who were fed in the same way. See Mark 6:34, &c.
