{Twelve baskets} (d(9364)eka 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 ( Mr 8:8  Mt 15:37 ). Here
all the Gospels ( Mr 6:43  Mt 14:20  Lu 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  Mr 8:19,20  Mt 16:9,10 . {Unto them that had eaten}
(	ois bebr(936b)osin). Articular perfect active participle (dative
case) of ibr(9373)k(935c), old verb to eat, only here in N.T., though
often in LXX.
