OET (OET-LV) he_took the seven loaves and the fishes, and having_given_thanks he_broke them and was_giving them to_the apprentices/followers, and the apprentices/followers to_the crowds.

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.

15:36a

Taking the seven loaves and the fish,

Taking the seven loaves and the fish: This clause indicates that Jesus took the loaves of bread and the fish from the disciples. Then he held them in his hands while he gave thanks for them.

15:36b

He gave thanks

He gave thanks: These words mean that Jesus thanked God for the food. For example:

gave thanks to God (GNT)

thanked God for them (NLT)

and thanked God for the food

15:36c

and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples,

broke them: This clause means that Jesus broke/tore the bread and the fish into pieces.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

and broke them into pieces (NLT)

he divided the food (NCV)

Some languages may have one verb for breaking bread, and another verb for breaking fish. You should use the words that are natural in your language.

gave them: The tense of the verb gave probably indicates a repeated or continued giving. Jesus miraculously multiplied the pieces of bread and fish as he was giving them to his disciples.

Here are some other ways to translate this verb:

started giving them (NASB)

began handing them (NJB)

15:36d

and the disciples gave them to the people.

and the disciples gave them to the people: In Greek, this phrase is more literally “and the disciples to the crowds.” The words gave and them are implied.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

who distributed the food to the crowd (NLT)

the disciples shared/divided the pieces among the people

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἄρτους

loaves

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

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔκλασεν καὶ ἐδίδου

˱he˲_broke_‹them› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλαβεν τούς ἑπτά ἄρτους καί τούς ἰχθύας καί εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασεν καί ἐδίδου τοῖς μαθηταῖς οἱ δέ μαθηταί τοῖς ὄχλοις)

Matthew means that Jesus broke the loaves of bread in pieces so that they could be served to the crowds. This was a normal practice in his culture. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [he divided the loaves into servings and was giving them] or [he broke the loaves into smaller pieces and was giving the pieces]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οἱ & μαθηταὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις

the & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλαβεν τούς ἑπτά ἄρτους καί τούς ἰχθύας καί εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασεν καί ἐδίδου τοῖς μαθηταῖς οἱ δέ μαθηταί τοῖς ὄχλοις)

Matthew is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [the disciples gave them to the crowds]
