The earliest written gospel material was anonymous but attributed to a man named Mark.
Comments
Jesus' sharing of the loaves and fishes is recorded by all four gospel writers and clearly seems to have been more than one event.
Here in verse 2 it appears some of the people do not have enough food to make it back to their own home without serious hunger so that some might faint[1].
V4-5 Again, the disciples did not have sufficient food in their personal provisions. They only had seven loaves .
In Verses 6 ad 7, they again set(to place beside or near or set before)[2] this food, including 2 fish, before all the people who have
In verse 8 we see that the people all sitting down again in these groups could now see with the same sharing that they all could "eat[3], and be filled[4]" and still have enough to replenish the stores of the disciples.
9V Now they could be sent away safely because they had eaten and been filled.
According to some, "This story (of the loaves and fishes) is popular for children as it teaches the importance of sharing, making the most of what you have, and that Christians must place their trust in God. This being in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ within the Christian religion."[5]
Dalmanutha
Pharisees wanted a sign and Jesus sighed deeply anastenazo[6] in his spirit. The idea of deeply is from ana meaning "in the midst" and sigh is from stenazo often translated groan or grieved.[7]
14V The disciples forgot to take bread, and Jesus warns of the evil leaven. What is that leaven? And what is the "leaven of Herod"?[8]
As to the leaven of Herod it was in the bread distributed by Herod in his system of Corban run through the temple which functioned under the doctrines and traditions[9] of the Pharisees.
Questions

A very great multitude

[1] In those days the multitude[10] being very great[11] , and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

[2] I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

[3] And if I send them away fasting[12] to their own houses, they will faint[1] by the way: for divers (some) of them came from far.

Satisfy these men

[4] And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

[5] And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

Commanded the people

[6] And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.

[7] And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.(i.e. food placed on a table)[2]

Seven Baskets left over

[8] So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

[9] And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

Parts of Dalmanutha

[10] And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

The Pharisees Demand a Sign

[11] And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

Sighed deeply

[12] And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation[13] seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.[14]

[13] And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod

[14] Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

[15] And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

Reasoned among themselves

[16] And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

[17] And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

[18] Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not?[15] and do ye not remember?

[19] When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

[20] And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

[21] And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida

[22] And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

[23] And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

[24] And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

[25] After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

[26] And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ

[27] And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

[28] And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.

[29] And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

[30] And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

[31] And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

[32] And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

[33] But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

[34] And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

[35] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

[36] For what shall it profit[16] a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

[37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

[38] Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

  8. ↑ Bread of oppression
    Matthew 16:6 "Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees... 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning daily bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade [them] not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
    Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod."
    Matthew 16:11 "How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?"
    Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."
    Luke 12:1 "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."
    Jesus and John the Baptist opposed the leaven of Herod, the Pharisees and of the Sadducees because they misinterpreted the way of Moses and the LORD. They collected the resources for their tables of welfare, their social safety net of free bread and care for the needy of society through forced offerings. Peter, Paul, David, and the prophets have been warned us that such covetous practices were setting a snare and a trap. Herod and the Pharisees had set up a system of legal charity rather than fervent charity which always makes the word of God to none effect so that Christ would say the kingdom of God shall be taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits. We should know that their system "degenerates" the "masses" until they become "perfect savages". Legal charity and its benefits and dainties provided through men who exercise authority are the wages of unrighteousness and the covetous practices that makes men merchandise and will curse children.
