6:37 Jesus suggests that, just as the disciples were able to cast out demons and heal through his power (6:7, 13, 30), they should be able to feed the crowd. Their reply considered only what they themselves were capable of doing. They did not consider Jesus’ power.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
δὲ
but
Here, the word But introduces what Jesus says in a contrast with what the disciples asked him to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [However,]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ἀπελθόντες, ἀγοράσωμεν δηναρίων διακοσίων ἄρτους, καὶ δώσομεν αὐτοῖς φαγεῖν?
/having/_gone_away ˱we˲_/may/_buy ˱of˲_denarii two_hundred loaves and ˱we˲_/will_be/_giving_‹something› ˱to˲_them /to/_eat
The disciples are using the question form to show that Jesus’ command is absurd or impossible. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [We cannot go away and buy loaves of 200 denarii and give them to them to eat.] or [We could not go away and buy enough loaves to give to them to eat even if we had 200 denarii!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
δηναρίων διακοσίων ἄρτους
˱of˲_denarii two_hundred loaves
Here, the disciples are using the possessive form to describe loaves that are worth 200 denarii. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [loaves worth 200 denarii] or [loaves with 200 denarii]
Note 4 topic: translate-bmoney
δηναρίων διακοσίων
˱of˲_denarii two_hundred
The word denarii refers to silver coins, each equivalent to about one day’s wage for a hired worker. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead you might state something more general or give the equivalent in wages. Alternate translation: [of 200 silver coins] or [of 200 days’ wages]
