uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὔπω νοεῖτε, οὐδὲ μνημονεύετε τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους τῶν πεντακισχιλίων, καὶ πόσους κοφίνους ἐλάβετε?

not_yet ˱you_all˲_/are/_understanding neither ˱you_all˲_/are/_remembering the five loaves ˱of˲_the five_thousand and how_many baskets ˱you_all˲_took

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the disciples. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation.Alternate translation: “You do not yet perceive nor remember the five loaves of the 5,000, and how many baskets you received!” or “I am disappointed that you do not yet perceive nor remember the five loaves of the 5,000, and how many baskets you received.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους τῶν πεντακισχιλίων

the five loaves ˱of˲_the five_thousand

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to refer to the five loaves that he used to feed the 5,000. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the five loaves that fed the 5,000”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν πεντακισχιλίων

˱of˲_the five_thousand
