YHN 6:13 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:1–15: Jesus fed over 5000 people in the wilderness

In this section Jesus did a great miracle. He fed thousands of people with just a small amount of food. He showed that he could create material substances, just as God did when he created the world. He also showed that he cared about people’s hunger and could provide food for them. See also Matthew 15:32–39.

Here are other possible titles for this section:

Jesus provided food for a big crowd

Jesus did a miracle to increase some bread and fish

Paragraph 6:10–13

This paragraph records Jesus’ response to the problem. He did a miracle to provide enough food for everyone.

6:13a

So they collected them

So the disciples collected the leftover food.
Then his/Jesus’ followers picked up the remaining food.

So they collected them: The disciples did what Jesus told them to do (6:12b) and collected the leftover food (food that remained after everyone ate). They did this so that people or animals could eat it later. In this way the food was not lost or wasted. Here is another way to translate this clause:

So they picked up the pieces (NLT)

6:13b

and filled twelve baskets

They filled twelve baskets
They put into twelve baskets, until there was no room for any more,

6:13c

with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

with the pieces of the five barley breads/loaves that were left from the people’s meal
the bread remaining from the five barley breads that the disciples divided among the people to eat.

6:13b–c

and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten: The disciples put the leftover (remaining) bread in baskets. The fish is not mentioned. These leftovers filled twelve (12) baskets.

Here are other ways to translate this clause:

and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves that were left uneaten (REB)

and filled twelve baskets with scraps left by the people who had eaten from the five barley loaves (NLT)

baskets: These baskets were containers made from grass or reeds woven together. We do not know how big they were. Use a general term for a basket used for carrying grain or bread. The same Greek word is used in Matthew 14:20, Mark 6:43, and Mark 8:19.

General Comment on 6:13a–c

Some translations move the statement about filling the twelve baskets to the end of the sentence. For example:

^13aSo they gathered them up, ^13cand from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, ^13bthey filled twelve baskets (NRSV)

Another way to translate 6:13a–c is to combine the information:

^13a–cThey took the leftover pieces of bread and put them into baskets. In this way they filled twelve baskets.
