Mark 8 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Four thousand fed by a miracle.

Our Lord Jesus encouraged the meanest to come to him for life and grace. Christ knows and considers our frames. The bounty of Christ is always ready; to show that, he repeated this miracle. His favours are renewed, as our wants and necessities are. And those need not fear want, who have Christ to live upon by faith, and do so with thanksgiving. (Mk 8:11-21)
