Mark 6:40
_ _ And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties — Doubtless this was to show at a glance the number fed, and to enable all to witness in an orderly manner this glorious miracle. |
Mark 6:40
They sat down in ranks — The word properly signifies a parterre or bed in a garden; by a metaphor, a company of men ranged in order, by hundreds and by fifties — That is, fifty in rank, and a hundred in file. So a hundred multiplied by fifty, make just five thousand. |
Mark 6:40
And they sat down in (u) ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
(u) The word signifies the beds in a garden, and it is literally, "by beds and beds", meaning by this that they sat down in rows one by another, as beds in a garden. |
- by hundreds:
- It is generally supposed that they were so arranged as to be a hundred in rank, or depth, and fifty in front, or file; which would make the number just five thousand, and will reconcile this account with Luke's, who only speaks of their sitting down by fifties.
Luke 9:14-15 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. ... And they did so, and made them all sit down.
