SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:32–39: Jesus provided food for over four thousand people

In this section, Jesus miraculously provided food for over four thousand people. He did something similar in 14:13–21. In both of these stories Jesus began with only a small amount of food, but he caused it to miraculously multiply so there was enough for all of them to eat. Matthew told us the number of the men only, even though many women and children were also there and ate.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Feeding the Four Thousand (NRSV)

Four Thousand Fed (NASB)

There is a parallel passage for this section in Mark 8:1–10.

15:34a

“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.

How many loaves do you have?: This is a real question, not a rhetorical question. Jesus wanted his disciples to find out how much bread they already had.

loaves: This is the same word in Greek as the word that the BSB translates as “bread” in 15:33. It can refer to food in general or specifically to “bread.” Since it is not natural in English to use the plural of “bread,” the BSB translates this word as loaves.

Jesus likely used the word in the same general sense as the disciples did in 15:33b.

15:34b

“Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”

Seven: In the Greek, the word translated Seven refers to “seven loaves of bread.” Here it will probably be necessary to use a specific term for bread rather than a general word for food.

These loaves of bread probably refer to flat breads. One person could eat three to five of these loaves at one meal. It was the common food for a meal.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

seven loaves of bread

seven small breads

and a few small fish: The word that the BSB translates as fish refers here to fresh-water fish that have been salted or dried so that they were ready to eat.

Jesus asked the disciples how much bread they had. They answered that question. Plus, they added that they had a few fish.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

λέγει

˓is˒_saying

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [said]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

ἄρτους

loaves

See how you translated loaves in [14:17](../14/17.md). Alternate translation: [large chunks of bread]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἑπτά, καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Πόσους ἄρτους ἔχετε οἱ Δέ εἶπον Ἑπτά καί ὀλίγα ἰχθύδια)

The disciples are leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the verse if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [We have seven loaves and]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

15:32-39 The previous feeding miracle (see 14:13-21) was for Jews, whereas this one extended to Gentiles; it thus develops the theme of 15:27. Through this miracle Jesus demonstrated that he is the true bread of life (see 16:5-12; John 6).
