and they all
This phrase emphasizes the inclusivity of the miracle performed by Jesus. The Greek word for "all" is "πάντες" (pantes), which signifies every single person present. In the context of the feeding of the five thousand, it underscores the comprehensive nature of Jesus' provision. Historically, this event took place in a remote area, where such a large gathering would have been difficult to feed. The phrase highlights the miraculous ability of Jesus to meet the needs of a vast crowd, reflecting His divine compassion and power.

ate
The act of eating here is more than just a physical necessity; it is a communal experience that Jesus facilitates. The Greek word "ἔφαγον" (ephagon) is used, which is a common term for eating but in this context, it signifies the fulfillment of a deeper need. In the Jewish tradition, sharing a meal is an act of fellowship and unity. This miracle echoes the provision of manna in the wilderness, drawing a parallel between Jesus and God's provision for Israel, thus reinforcing Jesus' role as the Messiah who provides for His people.

and were satisfied
The Greek word "ἐχορτάσθησαν" (echortasthēsan) is used here, which means to be filled or satisfied to the point of contentment. This word choice indicates that the crowd did not just receive a token amount of food, but they were completely satisfied. This satisfaction is both physical and spiritual, as it points to Jesus' ability to fulfill the deepest needs of humanity. In a broader scriptural context, this satisfaction foreshadows the spiritual nourishment that Jesus offers through His teachings and ultimately through His sacrifice. The satisfaction of the crowd is a testament to the abundance of God's provision and the completeness of His care for His people.

Verses 42, 43. - They did all eat, and were filled (ἐχορτάσθησαν). It might be rendered, were fulfilled, according to the old meaning of "fulfill." It is probable that the women and children were a considerable number; for they would be, if possible, even more eager then the men to see the great Prophet. When all had eaten and were satisfied, they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes. St. John tells us that this was done by the express command of Christ (John 6:12); and the existence of these fragments, far more in quantity than the original supply, was a striking testimony to the reality of the miracle, and that there was enough and more than enough for all. It does not become us to pry too curiously into the method of our Lord's working; but the number of these baskets (κοφίνους), namely, twelve, seems to suggest that he first broke the loaves, and in breaking multiplied them, and distributed them into these baskets, one for each apostle, and that the food, as it was distributed by the disciples, was more and more multiplied, as needed, so that at length they brought back to Christ as many basketfuls of fragments as they had first received from him, and much more than the original supply. It is obvious here to remark that by this stupendous miracle our Lord showed himself to be the true Bread of life, by which the spiritual wants of all hungering souls may be supplied. "For," says St. Augustine," he was the Word of God, and all the acts of the Word are themselves words for us. They are not as pictures, merely, to look at and admire; but as letters which we must seek to read and understand."
