SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:1–15: Jesus fed over 5000 people in the wilderness

In this section Jesus did a great miracle. He fed thousands of people with just a small amount of food. He showed that he could create material substances, just as God did when he created the world. He also showed that he cared about people’s hunger and could provide food for them. See also Matthew 15:32–39.

Here are other possible titles for this section:

Jesus provided food for a big crowd

Jesus did a miracle to increase some bread and fish

Paragraph 6:10–13

This paragraph records Jesus’ response to the problem. He did a miracle to provide enough food for everyone.

6:11a

Then Jesus took the loaves

Jesus picked up the breads/loaves
Jesus received the bread in his hands

Then Jesus took the loaves: The word took here indicates that Jesus received the bread from the boy and held it in his hand. Your readers should understand that the boy wanted to give Jesus the bread. He gave it to Jesus willingly.

6:11b

and the fish,

Jesus also distributed the fish,
and the fish he also shared/divided.

and the fish: There is implied information in this phrase. The phrase means that Jesus thanked God for the fish and gave it to the people as well.

Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

He did the same with the fish. (NCV)

He also thanked God for the fish and distributed it to the people

6:11c

gave thanks,

and gave thanks to God.
He said, “Thank you, Father God, for this bread/food.”

gave thanks: In some languages it may be natural to say explicitly that Jesus gave thanks to God for the food. For example:

Then Jesus took the loaves of bread, thanked God for them (NCV)

Some languages may need to use direct speech instead of an expression like gave thanks. For example:

Then Jesus said to God, “Thank you for this bread.”

6:11d

and distributed to those who were seated

Then he gave it to those who had sat down,
Jesus shared/divided the bread/food among the people who were sitting there.

and distributed to those who were seated: Jesus distributed the bread by asking the disciples to hand it out to the people who were sitting down. See Matthew 6:19. Sometimes a literal translation means that Jesus gave out the bread to everyone himself. If that is true in your language, you may need to include some implied information. For example:

he told the disciples to distribute them to those who were seated

Here are other ways to translate this clause:

Jesus…gave them to the people who were sitting there (NCV)

he passed the bread to the people (CEV)

6:11e

as much as they wanted.

and everyone received as much food as they wanted.
The people ate all the bread and fish that they wanted.

as much as they wanted: This phrase means that everyone ate as much bread and as much fish as they wanted. You may want to translate this as a separate sentence. For example:

All the people ate as much as they wanted. (GW)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

τοὺς ἄρτους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔλαβεν οὖν τούς ἄρτους ὁ Ἰησοῦς καί εὐχαριστήσας διέδωκεν τοῖς ἀνακειμένοις ὁμοίως καί ἐκ τῶν ὀψαρίων ὅσον ἤθελον)

This means loaves of bread, which are lumps of flour dough that a person has shaped and baked. These loaves are those five barley loaves mentioned in verse 9. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [the five loaves of barley bread]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

εὐχαριστήσας

˓having˒_given_thanks

John leaves out some words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [having given thanks to God for the food]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

διέδωκεν

˱he˲_distributed

Here, he refers to “Jesus and his disciples.” Alternate translation: [Jesus and his disciples gave them]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν ὀψαρίων

the fish

These fish are the two fish mentioned in verse 9. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [those two small fish]
