Mark 6:44

Men. Gr. andres, “adult males,” that is, “men,” as contrasted with the Gr. anthropoi, “human beings,” that is, “persons,” in contrast to animals (see on ch. 2:27). Thus it is clear that there were 5,000 men present, “beside women and children” (see Matt. 14:21). It may be conservatively estimated that an equal number of women and children were present, swelling the total to more than 10,000 people.
