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 6:5–9

This paragraph tells why there was a need for Jesus to act. Many thousands of people were hungry. To buy food for them all would have cost a lot of money. It is implied, though not stated, that Jesus and the disciples were not wealthy. They did not have large amounts of money to give away or spend.

6:7a

Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread

Philip replied to him, “Even if we^(incl) had two hundred silver coins, we could not buy enough bread
Philip answered, “Suppose that someone works for 200 days. All his wages would not be enough to buy

Philip answered: Philip replied to Jesus. Translate this speech introducer in a natural way in your language.

Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread: The BSB translates the Greek phrase literally as Two hundred denarii. A denarius was a silver coin. It was the average day’s wage for a common worker. So the Greek expression refers to the amount of money that it took a worker more than six months to earn.

Here are other ways to translate this clause:

Two hundred silver coins worth of bread would not be enough (NET)

It would take more than half a year’s wages to buy enough bread (NIV)

6:7b

for each of them to have a small piece.”

for everyone to have just a little!”
even a little food for all these people!”

for each of them to have a small piece: This phrase means “for each person to be able to eat a small amount.” It implies that nobody would be satisfied. It may be natural to say:

for everyone to receive even a small amount

for each person to have only a little piece (NCV)

for each one to have a bite! (NIV)

General Comment on 6:7a–b

In some languages it may be natural to change the order of this verse. For example:

^7aPhilip answered, ^7b“For everyone to have even a little, ^7ait would take more than two hundred silver coins to buy enough bread.” (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-bmoney

διακοσίων δηναρίων ἄρτοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Φίλιππος Διακοσίων δηναρίων ἄρτοι οὐκ ἀρκοῦσιν αὐτοῖς ἵνα ἕκαστος βραχύ λάβῃ)

The word denarii is the plural form of “denarius.” It was a denomination of money in the Roman Empire that was equivalent to one days’ wages. Alternate translation: [The amount of bread that cost 200 days’ wages]
