SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:30–44: Jesus did a miracle to feed more than five thousand people

Here Mark resumed the story about Jesus and his twelve apostles. In this section the twelve apostles came back to Jesus and told him about their mission in the Jewish villages. Then Jesus and the apostles went away to find a quiet place to rest. But crowds of people came there to see Jesus. Jesus taught the crowds of people and then did a miracle in order to give them all food to eat.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand (NIV)

The Feeding of the Five Thousand (NET)

Jesus fed five thousand people in a miraculous way

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 14:13–21; Luke 9:10–17; John 6:1–14. See also a similar story, where Jesus fed four thousand people, in Matthew 15:32–39 and Mark 8:1–10.

Paragraph 6:33–38

Many people saw Jesus and the twelve apostles leaving and followed them. Jesus had compassion on them and taught them. When evening came, the apostles wanted Jesus to send the crowds away, because there was nothing for the people to eat. The apostles did not know any way to feed so many people.

6:36a

Dismiss the crowd

Dismiss the crowd: The Greek clause that the BSB translates literally as Dismiss the crowd is in the form of a command. The disciples were suggesting to Jesus what they thought was a reasonable thing to do. They were not speaking harshly to Jesus. They were not forcing Jesus to do something.

If students use the form of a command in your language to make a suggestion to their teacher, you may translate this literally. But if it would be rude in your culture for a student to speak in this way to his teacher, you may need to use a more respectful form. For example:

Please send the crowds away…

We suggest that you send the crowds away…

Dismiss…: The word Dismiss in this context refers to telling the crowd that it was time for them to go home. Be careful not to translate this in a way that sounds like getting rid of people who are not wanted. You could use a verb such as:

send away/release

urge (them) to go

6:36b

so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages

so they can go: The Greek word that the BSB translates as so can also be translated as: “in order that.” This word introduces the purpose for 6:36a.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

that they may go (NASB)

to go (RSV)

countryside: The Greek word that the BSB here translates as countryside can also be translated as “farms” (as in the GNT). This refers to places where a small group of people lived and where there was food. This same word occurs in 5:14b.

villages: The Greek word that the BSB translates as villages refers to small towns or villages.

6:36c

and buy themselves something to eat.”

and buy themselves something to eat: There is a textual issue here: (1) Some Greek manuscripts have so…they may buy themselves what they may eat. For example, the GNT says: “in order to buy themselves something to eat” (BSB, NIV, GNT, RSV, NJB, ESV, NET, NASB, REB, GW, NLT, CEV, JBP, NCV). (2) Some Greek manuscripts have and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat. For example, the KJV says: “and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat” (KJV). It is recommended that you follow option (1) as most English versions do. The Greek says literally “so they may buy themselves what they may eat.”

Here is another way to translate the phrase something to eat:

some food

General Comment on 6:35c–36c

In some languages, it may be more natural to translate 6:35c–36c as indirect speech. For example:

35cThey told him that the area was remote and 36dthat the day was almost over. 36aTherefore he should send the people away 36bso that they could go to the surrounding farms and villages 36cand buy themselves something to eat.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ἀπόλυσον αὐτούς

send_away them

Because the disciples are speaking to Jesus, the command Send them away is singular.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἀπόλυσον αὐτούς

send_away them

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [We ask that you send them away]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

τοὺς κύκλῳ ἀγροὺς καὶ κώμας

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπόλυσον αὐτούς ἵνα ἀπελθόντες εἰς τούς κύκλῳ ἀγρούς καί κώμας ἀγοράσωσιν ἑαυτοῖς τὶ φάγωσιν)

Here, Mark is referring to that whole region by naming its two primary parts, the countryside and the villages. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the whole surrounding area]
