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 by fifties in a company.
 15And they did so, and made them all sit down. (Luke 9:14‑15)
