“And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.”
Matthew 14:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 14:20
The result—'they did all eat, and were filled'—emphasizes abundance: not merely satisfied but filled to satiety. The phrase 'they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full' demonstrates surplus exceeding the original supply. Twelve baskets (one per disciple?) showed God's provision exceeds need. This abundance contrasts with the disciples' worry about scarcity, demonstrating God's generosity when we trust Him with inadequate resources.
