OET (OET-LV) And all ate and were_satisfied, and they_took_up the part being_leftover of_the fragments, twelve baskets full.

OET (OET-RV) Everyone there ate enough to be full, and then the apprentices picked up twelve baskets of leftover bread.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:13–21: Jesus fed over five thousand people

In this section, Jesus showed his love for people by healing the sick and providing food for everyone. He provided food for them by miraculously multiplying a few pieces of bread and a few fish. He also tested the disciples to see how they would respond to the need of the people.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus miraculously gives food to five thousand men

Five Thousand Fed (NASB)

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 6:30–44, Luke 9:10–17, and John 6:1–14.

14:20a

They all ate and were satisfied,

They all ate and were satisfied: This clause indicates that everyone had plenty of food to eat. They ate as much as they wanted.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Everyone ate and had enough (GNT)

They all ate as much as they wanted (NJB)

They all ate until they were full

Matthew did not explain when or how the five loaves of bread and two fish became enough to feed so many people until they were satisfied. If it is not clear to people in your area that Jesus caused the food to multiply, you could include some implied information. For example:

Jesus multiplied the food so that they all ate and were satisfied

Jesus did a miracle so that everyone had enough to eat

14:20b

and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

the disciples picked up: The clause that the BSB translates as the disciples picked up is more literally “they picked up.” There are several ways to interpret the pronoun “they”:

  1. It refers to the disciples. For example:

    Jesus’ disciples picked up (CEV) (BSB, NIV, GNT, CEV, NCV, NLT)

  2. It refers to the crowd. Looking back to the previous clause (14:20a), “they took up” would grammatically refer to the crowd.

  3. It refers to the disciples and the crowd.

Many English versions translate this literally as “they,” and it is not possible to tell which interpretation they follow. You may also translate this in a similar way, unless your readers will understand that only the crowd picked up the food. If your readers will understand that the disciples did not participate, then you should follow interpretation (1) and explicitly say the disciples, as the BSB does.

picked up: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as picked up means to lift up and carry away. In this context it probably indicates that the disciples gathered or collected pieces of uneaten food from the crowd. They probably did not pick up crumbs from the ground.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

took up (ESV)

collected (NJB)

twelve basketfuls: The amount of left-over food that the disciples collected was enough to fill twelve baskets. This indicates how great the miracle was. The amount of left-over food was greater than the amount of food that Jesus started with.

The size of the baskets is not known, but they were probably medium in size.BDAG (page 563) and Louw & Nida (page 71) define the Greek word used here, kophinos, as a large basket for carrying food and produce. But Osborne (page 567) defines this word as “a small wicker basket used for carrying provisions when traveling.” It is possible that each disciple filled one basket; perhaps his own basket that he used for carrying his things when traveling. If your language has different words for different kinds of baskets, use a word for a basket that is usually medium in size.

broken pieces that were left over: This phrase refers to the pieces of bread and fish that remained after everyone had eaten.While the term “broken pieces” probably refers specifically to the bread that was broken, Mark 6:43 states that twelve baskets were filled with the broken pieces of bread and fish.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the leftover pieces of food (NCV)

food that remained

leftovers (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἔφαγον πάντες & ἦραν

ate all & ˱they˲_took_up

The pronoun they in the phrase they all ate refers to the crowds. The pronoun they in the phrase they took up refers to the disciples. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: [the crowds all ate … the disciples took up]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔφαγον πάντες καί ἐχορτάσθησαν καί ἦραν τό περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων δώδεκα κοφίνους πλήρεις)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your languages. Alternate translation: [until they felt full]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔφαγον πάντες καί ἐχορτάσθησαν καί ἦραν τό περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων δώδεκα κοφίνους πλήρεις)

Here, the phrase the remaining refers to what was left after everyone ate. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the leftovers] or [what was left of the broken pieces]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

κοφίνους

baskets

The word baskets refers to large, lightweight circular containers that store food or other items. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of container, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [boxes] or [containers]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

14:13-21 Jesus’ actions consistently fulfilled Old Testament promises regarding the Kingdom and the Messiah (11:5-6; 12:28). Here Jesus evoked the memory of God’s provision of manna for the Israelites (Exod 16; see John 6:32), demonstrating that he is the promised end-time prophet (see Deut 18:15-16).
