It’s good to dig further into familiar passages.

*Shrug* Does this matter? Jesus would have fed Gentiles too if there were any. Do you have an important point to your question?

I have posted this before but there is much hidden in these scriptures.
Well, first the baskets. From the Greek manuscripts we see a portent concering the baskets. The basket used to feed the 5000 was a kophino, and the basket used to feed the 4000 was a spuris. This holds true in all 4 gospels whenever the baskets are mentioned, as well in the book of Acts. The kophino basket used to feed the 5000 was jewish because when the people followed Jesus across Lake Galilie he was asked questions only a jew was asked, such as, " Our ancestors ate manna in the wilderness
As for the basket used to feed the 4000, Jesus had left the area of Tyre and Sidon in Lebanon and approached the area of Decapolis. Decapolis was a group of ten cities given to the Greeks for their assistance during the times of conquering the territory. When Apostle Paul was fleeing Damascus, he was let down over the wall in a spuris basket---A Gentile basket in a Gentile city.
So we can easily say the kophino basket used to feed the 5000 was jewish and the spuris basket used to feed the 4000 was Gentile. Strongs Concordance for kophino is #2894 and for spuris #4711.

I see were Jews and some Gentiles, who had joined them and got taught the Jewish Laws. For, Jesus came for the first chosen, yet included others as well. Like the woman that said to Jesus, who Jesus said to her, he was not here for her.
She replied yet the dogs get the scraps form the table, Jesus amazed and gave here what asked for. What Faith, belief to God, wow!
And the Gentiles have been given this, to not be proud or better than others ever. To be civil, humble and thankful to God all in all at least to me
now, what was gong on at that time?
People from all over were flocking to wherever Jesus was at. This spoken of Jesus was sought by everyone, Jew or not
Which I think made the Pharisees very mad in anger over this, I mean people were goin g to them and asking where this Jesus was at. They I bet asked, can I help you? And they said I bet no where is Jesus?
Thanks for the Question
