"For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
For they were about five thousand men,.... Beside women and children, Mat 14:21 , and he said to his disciples, make them to sit down by fifties in a company;
and by hundreds also; some companies had a hundred apiece in them, and others fifty; and which was done partly, for the more easy numbering of them, and partly and chiefly for the more convenient distribution of food to them; See Gill on Mar 6:39 . See Gill on Mar 6:40 .
