This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Twelve baskets (dōdeka kophinous). One for each of the apostles. What about the lad? Stout wicker baskets (coffins, Wycliff) in distinction from the soft and frail sphurides used at the feeding of the four thousand (Mar 8:8; Mat 15:37). Here all the Gospels (Mar 6:43; Mat 14:20; Luk 9:17; Joh 6:13) use kophinoi. The same distinction between kophinoi and sphurides is preserved in the allusion to the incidents by Jesus in Mar 8:19, Mar 8:20; Mat 16:9, Mat 16:10.
Unto them that had eaten (tois bebrōkosin). Articular perfect active participle (dative case) of bibrōskō, old verb to eat, only here in N.T., though often in lxx.
