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:

Two paragraphs (as in the GNT)
6:45–50a
6:50b–52
Three paragraphs (as in the BSB, NIV, RSV, CEV, NLT)
6:45–46
6:47–50a
6:50b–52
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.

6:50a

for they all saw Him and were terrified.

because they were all terrified when they saw him.
in terror because of what they saw.

for: The Greek word that the BSB translates as for introduces the reason that the disciples were terrified.

they all saw Him and were terrified: The disciples were terrified when they saw Him, that is, Jesus. However, since they did not know that what they saw was Jesus, it may be natural to translate this as:

they were all terrified at what they saw

they were all terrified at the sight

General Comment on 6:49c–50a

In these verses, 6:50a expresses the reason for the result in 6:49c. In some languages, it may be more natural to change the order of these clauses. For example:

^50aThey all saw him and were terrified, ^49cso they cried out.

^50aThey all saw him and were terrified, ^49cthat is why they screamed.

General Comment on 6:49a–50a

Verse 6:49b (they thought he was a ghost) and 6:50a (they saw Jesus and were terrified) both give the reason why the disciples cried out. In some languages it may be natural to put these two verse parts together. For example:

^49aBut when they saw him walking on the lake, ^49cthey starting screaming/yelling ^49bbecause they thought he was a ghost ^50aand were terrified at the sight.

^49aBut when they saw him walking on the lake, ^49bthey thought he was a ghost ^50aand were terrified at the sight. ^49cSo they started screaming/yelling….

^49aBut when they saw him walking on the lake, ^50athey were all terrified ^49cand screamed, ^49bbecause they thought he was a ghost.

6:50b

But Jesus spoke up at once:

¶ He said to them at once,
¶ But Jesus immediately said to them,

But Jesus spoke up at once: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as But indicates contrast. Here the contrast is between the fact that the disciples were afraid and the fact that Jesus spoke to them to reassure them. Some English versions, such as the NIV, do not translate this word. You should show this contrast in a way that is natural in your language.

Jesus spoke up at once: The expression Jesus spoke up at once was a natural way in Greek to introduce what someone said.

Use an expression for introducing what someone says that is natural in your language. For example:

But Jesus said to them at once

Jesus immediately spoke. He said to them…

6:50c

“Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

“Be courageous! It is I. Do not fear.”
“Be brave! I am Jesus, not a ghost. Stop feeling afraid.”

Take courage: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Take courage means “be courageous,” or “be firm / resolute in the face of danger.”

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

Have courage! (NCV)

Don’t worry! (CEV)

Calm down! (GW)

It is recommended that you translate this word using the expression in your language for encouraging people who are facing danger.

It is I: In some languages it might not make sense for a speaker to make the obvious comment It is I. It may be more natural for the speaker to refer to himself by name. For example:

I am Jesus.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πάντες Γάρ αὐτόν εἶδον καί ἐταράχθησαν ὁ Δέ εὐθύς ἐλάλησεν μετʼ αὐτῶν καί λέγει αὐτοῖς Θαρσεῖτε ἐγώ εἰμί μή φοβεῖσθε)

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the disciples cried out (see [6:49](../06/49.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for an action, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [because] or [which they did because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐταράχθησαν

˓were˒_disturbed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [were very nervous] or [were very anxious]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ἐλάλησεν μετ’ αὐτῶν, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς

spoke with them (Some words not found in SR-GNT: πάντες Γάρ αὐτόν εἶδον καί ἐταράχθησαν ὁ Δέ εὐθύς ἐλάλησεν μετʼ αὐτῶν καί λέγει αὐτοῖς Θαρσεῖτε ἐγώ εἰμί μή φοβεῖσθε)

The expression spoke with them and says to them contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: [says to them] or [spoke to them]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

θαρσεῖτε

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of courage, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Be courageous]
