Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Robertson: Joh 6:13 - Twelve baskets

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.

Robertson: Joh 6:13 - Unto them that had eaten

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.

Vincent: Joh 6:13 - Baskets

Baskets ( κοφίνους )

See on Mat 14:20. Wyc., coffins .

Vincent: Joh 6:13 - With the fragments, etc

With the fragments, etc.

John goes into fuller detail than the Synoptists. Mark alone notes the gathering of the remains of the fishes. John also uses ἐγέμισαν , filled , for they took up , or were taken up , of the Synoptists.

Vincent: Joh 6:13 - Five barley loaves

Five barley loaves

A detail peculiar to John, emphasizing the identity of the fragments with the original loaves.

Vincent: Joh 6:13 - Unto them that had eaten

Unto them that had eaten ( βεβρωκόσιν )

Calvin: Joh 6:13 - And filled twelve baskets

13.And filled twelve baskets When four thousand men were fed by seven loaves, Matthew relates that the number of baskets filled with fragments was exactly the same with the number of the loaves, (Mat 15:37.) Since, therefore, a smaller quantity is sufficient for a greater number of men, and since the quantity left is nearly double, hence we see more clearly of what value is that blessing of God, against the sight of which we deliberately shut our eyes. We ought also to observe, in passing, that though Christ commands them to fill the baskets for illustrating the miracle, yet he likewise exhorts his disciples to frugality, when he says, Gather the fragments which are left, that nothing may be lost; for the increase of the bounty of God ought not to be an excitement to luxury. Let those, therefore, who have abundance, remember that they will one day render an account of their immoderate wealth, if they do not carefully and faithfully apply their superfluity to purposes which are good, and of which God approves.

Gill: Joh 6:13 - Therefore they gathered them together // and filled twelve baskets // with the fragments of the five barley loaves // which remained over and above unto them that had eaten

Therefore they gathered them together,.... The several broken bits of bread, which lay about upon the grass, which the people had left, after they had been sufficiently refreshed:

and filled twelve baskets; every disciple had a basket filled:

with the fragments of the five barley loaves; and it may be of the fishes also:

which remained over and above unto them that had eaten; such a marvellous increase was there, through the power of Christ going along with them; insomuch that they multiplied to such a degree, either in the hands of the distributors, or of the eaters.
