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.

6:12a

And when everyone was full,

After the people had eaten all they wanted,
When they were full,

And when everyone was full: This clause refers to the people having had enough food to eat to satisfy them. There are various ways to express this. For example:

When they had all had enough to eat (NCV)

When they had eaten enough (JBP)

When the people were full (GW)

6:12b

He said to His disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over,

he said to his disciples, “Pick up the leftovers.
Jesus told his followers to collect/save the remaining food.

Gather the pieces that are left over: These could have been fragments (pieces) left in the original baskets, or pieces of food remaining in people’s hands. This is not made clear. Here is another way to translate this clause:

Gather the leftover pieces of fish and bread. (NCV)

6:12c

so that nothing will be wasted.”

Do not waste anything.”
He did not want them to waste any of it.

so that nothing will be wasted: This is a purpose clause. Jesus wanted the disciples to make good use of his miraculous gift. He did not want them to lose (waste) any of the food.

Here are other ways to translate this clause:

let us not waste a bit (GNT)

so that nothing may be lost (NRSV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐνεπλήσθησαν

˱they˲_˓were˒_filled

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [they had finished eating] or [they had filled themselves]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

˱he˲_˓is˒_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, συναγάγετε

˱he˲_˓is˒_saying ˱to˲_the disciples ˱of˲_him (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὡς Δέ ἐνεπλήσθησαν λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ Συναγάγετε τά περισσεύσαντα κλάσματα ἵνα μή τὶ ἀπόληται)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [he says to his disciples to gather up]
