In those days,.... The Ethiopic version reads, on that day; as if it was on the same day that the deaf man was healed; and so it might be; and on the third day from Christ's coming into those parts; and so is very properly expressed, "in those days"; see Mr 7:31, compared with the following verse:the multitude being very great: for the number of men that ate, when the following miracle was wrought, were about four thousand; see Mr 8:9.
The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions add, "again"; referring to the former miracle of the five thousand, who were fed with five loaves, and two fishes, Mr 6:44.
