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 6:30–44: 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 6:30–32

In 6:6b–13 Jesus sent out his twelve apostles in groups of two to preach, to expel demons, and to heal sick people. Here in 6:30–32, the apostles returned from their mission and told Jesus what had happened. Then Jesus invited them to a quiet place away from the crowds so that they could rest.

6:32

So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

So Jesus and the twelve apostles started to cross the lake by themselves in a boat to a secluded place.
So they started out in a boat by themselves to a lonely place. (GNT)
So they got in a boat and started to go there.

So: The BSB uses the word So to introduce the result of what Jesus had said.

they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place: Jesus and the twelve apostles used a boat to cross part of Lake Galilee in order to leave the crowds behind. The “many” mentioned in 6:33a saw them before they arrived at the solitary place. So it may be clearer to translate this as the GNT has done:

they started out in a boat

they: The pronoun they refers to Jesus and the twelve apostles.

a boat: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as a boat is literally “the boat” (as in the RSV). This may imply that it was the same boat they had used before (see 5:21a). But it is probably best to follow the example of the BSB and many other English versions and say a boat. You could also say that they went “by boat.”

boat: The boats used on Lake Galilee were small boats used for fishing and travel across the lake. They could hold from about four to fifteen people. People used sails or oars (long paddles) to cause the boats to move across the water. If you do not have a word for boat in your language, here are some translation options:

Use a phrase that describes the function of a boat. For example:
a vehicle for crossing water
something for carrying people on top of water
Use the word for a specific kind of boat in your culture. For example:
canoe

a solitary place: The phrase a solitary place is the same Greek phrase that the BSB translates as “a solitary place” in 6:31c. It refers to a desolate area where few people lived.

In some languages, it may sound unnatural to repeat this phrase since it is also in 6:31c. If that is true in your language, you can leave this phrase implicit. For example:

So they got in a boat and started to go there.
