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 6:1–4

This paragraph gives the setting for the miraculous feeding of many people. It tells approximately where Jesus was and when this took place.

6:2a

A large crowd followed Him

Very many people followed him

A large crowd followed Him: This clause indicates that a lot of people were going around with Jesus. They continued to watch him and listen to him.

6:2b

because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.

because they saw the miracles that he did to help sick people.
because these people had seen how Jesus healed the sick.

because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick: The people were following Jesus because they saw how he did miracles to cure sick people.

Here are other ways to translate this clause:

because they saw the amazing things that he did for the people who were sick

because they had seen his miracles of healing the sick (GNT)

signs: The Greek word that the BSB translates as signs refers here to Jesus’ actions that enabled others to know something about him. In this context, Jesus’ healing of sick people revealed who he was. He was the one sent from God to be the Messiah, the chosen Savior.
