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• 14for they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifties.
 15And they did so, and made them all sit down. (Luke 9:14‑15)
