OET (OET-LV) And having_become evening, the boat was in the_midst of_the sea, and only he on the land.

OET (OET-RV) Later in the night, the boat was out in the middle of the lake, and only Yeshua remained back there on the land.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:45–52: Jesus walked on the water of the lake

This section tells about another miracle that showed Jesus’ power. After he fed the five thousand men, Jesus urged his disciples to get into their boat and go to the other side of the lake. Then during the night he came to them while they were still in the boat on the lake. He walked to them on the surface of the water and climbed into the boat with them.

There are several ways to divide this section into paragraphs:

  1. Two paragraphs (as in the GNT)

    6:45–50a

    6:50b–52

  2. Three paragraphs (as in the BSB, NIV, RSV, CEV, NLT)

    6:45–46

    6:47–50a

    6:50b–52

  3. One paragraph (as in the NJB, NET, ESV)

    6:45–52

You should divide this section into paragraphs in a way that is natural in your language. The Notes and Display follow option (a).

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

Here is another possible heading for this section:

Jesus walks on the water

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 14:22–23 and John 6:15–21.

6:47a

When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea,

When evening came: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as When evening came indicates that it was probably between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. The sun had probably already gone down.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

Later that evening (CEV)

That night (NCV)

The word evening also occurs in 1:32a.

the boat was in the middle of the sea: The Greek word that the BSB translates as middle indicates that the boat was far away from the shore.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

the boat was far out on the sea (NJB)

the boat was somewhere in the middle of the lake (CEV)

In some languages, it will be more natural to indicate that the disciples were in the boat. For example, the NLT says:

the disciples were in their boat in the middle of the lake

6:47b

and Jesus was alone on land.

and Jesus was alone on land: There is a contrast between Jesus being on land and the disciples being in the boat. Some English versions indicate this contrast with the word “while.” For example, the GNT says:

while Jesus was alone on land

In some languages, there may be a special way to indicate this kind of contrast. For example:

and/but as for Jesus, he was alone on the land

on land: Jesus was on land, but not on the shore. He was still up on the mountain (6:46b). In some languages, a literal translation of on land may imply that Jesus was at the shore of the lake and was no longer on the mountainside. If that is true in your language, you may want to indicate Jesus’ location more specifically. For example:

and as for Jesus, he was still on the mountain, alone

General Comment on 6:47a–b

In some languages, it may be more natural to change the order of 6:47a and 6:47b. In this way, the parts of 6:46 and 6:47 that are about Jesus can be together. For example, the CEV says:

46b…and [Jesus] went up on the side of a mountain to pray. 47aLater that evening 47bhe was still there by himself, and 47athe boat was somewhere in the middle of the lake.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὀψίας γενομένης

evening ˓having˒_become

Mark indicated that it was late in the day earlier in the story (see [6:35](../06/35.md)). Here, he uses a similar phrase but implies that it was later on in the evening. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that describes a time later than the time described in [6:35](../06/35.md). Alternate translation: [when it was even later in the evening] or [further into the evening]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ πλοῖον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὀψίας γενομένης ἦν τό πλοῖον ἐν μέσῳ τῆς θαλάσσης καί αὐτός μόνος ἐπί τῆς γῆς)

Here Mark implies that the boat has the disciples in it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [the boat with the disciples inside]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

6:45-52 This story is a manifestation of Jesus’ glory to the disciples (6:48-50). It is also a rescue story (6:47-48, 51) and a story about the disciples’ lack of understanding (6:51-52).

OET (OET-RV) Later in the night, the boat was out in the middle of the lake, and only Yeshua remained back there on the land.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
