SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:41

Y tomados los cinco panes y los dos peces, mirando al cielo, bendijo, y parti� los panes, y dio a sus discípulos para que los pusiesen delante; y reparti� a todos los dos peces.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 6:41

Verse 41. And blessed] I think the word God should be inserted here, as in Matt. xiv. 19. See the note there. The food we receive from God is already blessed, and does not stand in need of being blessed by man; but God, who gives it, deserves our warmest thanksgivings, as frequently as we are called to partake of his bounty.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 41. And when he had taken the five loaves and two fishes , etc..] Out of the hands of those that brought them into his own: he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves : (see Gill on � Matthew 14:19�), and gave them to his disciples to set before them ; the multitude, in order to eat of them: and the two fishes divided he among them all ; that every one might have a part. The Syriac and Persic versions read, they divided; that is, the apostles.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 30-44 - Let not ministers do any thing or teach any thing, but what they ar willing should be told to their Lord. Christ notices the frights of some, and the toils of others of his disciples, and provides rest for those that are tired, and refuge for those that are terrified. The people sought the spiritual food of Christ's word, and then he too care that they should not want bodily food. If Christ and his disciple put up with mean things, surely we may. And this miracle shows tha Christ came into the world, not only to restore, but to preserve an nourish spiritual life; in him there is enough for all that come. Non are sent empty away from Christ but those who come to him full of themselves. Though Christ had bread enough at command, he teaches u not to waste any of God's bounties, remembering how many are in want We may, some time, need the fragments that we now throw away.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

41. Brake and gave (kateklasen, ejdidou). The verbs are in different tenses; the former in the aorist, the latter in the imperfect. The aorist implies the instantaneous, the imperfect the continuous act. He brake, and kept giving out. Farrar remarks that the multiplication evidently took place in Christ's hands, between the acts of breaking and distributing.

All. Peculiar to Mark.

Were filled. See on Matt. v. 6.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

6:41 {Brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples} (kai apo twn icquwn). Apparently the fishes were in excess of the twelve baskets full of broken pieces of bread. See on �Mt 14:20 for discussion of kofinos and sfuris, the two kinds of baskets.
