6:30 Yeshua feeds 5,000 people

(Yhn 6:1-14, Mat. 14:13-21, Luke 9:10-17)

30Now the apprentices who had been sent out returned back to Yeshua and they reported back everything they had done and what they had been teaching people. 31Then he told them, “Let’s just all of us head for a quiet place and take a break.” This was because there were so many people always coming and going, and sometimes they didn’t even have a chance to eat. 32So they went by boat away to a quiet place by themselves.

33But people from towns all around had seen them going and recognised who they were, so they ran around the lake on foot and got there ahead of them. 34[ref]So when Yeshua got out of the boat, he saw a big crowd and felt sorry for them because they seemed like sheep without a shepherd, so he started teaching them many things. 35Then, when it was already getting late, his apprentices came up and said, “This place is pretty isolated and it’s already late. 36Send these people off now so they can go to the nearby settlements and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37But Yeshua answered them, “You give them something to eat.

They complained, “If we go, should we buy several months wages worth of bread so we can give all of them something to eat?”

38But he asked, “Go and find out how much bread you have.

When they’d found out they said, “Five buns and two fish.”

39Yeshua told all the people to line up in rows and sit down on the green grass. 40So they sat down in rows of fifty to a hundred. 41Then holding the five buns and two fish, he looking up to the sky and blessed God, and then broke up the buns and gave pieces to his apprentices so they could do likewise to the people, and he also divided up the two fish, 42and all the people ate and were satisfied. 43Then they collected the leftover pieces of bread, filling twelve baskets, as well as the leftover pieces of fish. 44And the headcount of men who ate that evening was five thousand.


6:1 The feeding of 5,000 families

(Mat. 14:13-21, Mark 6:30-44, Luke 9:10-17)

6After all this, Yeshua crossed the lake in a boat.[fn] 2A large crowd followed him because they’d seen his miraculous healings of sick people. 3Yeshua climbed a hill and sat there with his apprentices. 4At that time, it was getting close to the Jewish Festival of Passover. 5When Yeshua looked out and saw the large crowd coming, he asked Philip, “Where can we get enough food from to feed all this crowd? 6But he was only saying this to test Philip because he already knew what he was going to do.

7Philip answered, “To buy even just a snack for this many people would take several months’ wages!”

8Now one of Yeshua’s apprentices, Simon Peter’s brother, Andrew, said to Yeshua, 9“There’s a young boy here with five buns and two small cooked fish, but that wouldn’t even start to feed this crowd.”

10But Yeshua told them to get all the people to sit down as there was a large grassy area. So they all sat down—some five thousand men were counted. 11Then he took the buns and gave thanks to God, and started passing around both the buns and the fish, and everyone ate as much as they wanted. 12Once everyone was full, Yeshua got his apprentices to collect the leftover fragments so as not to waste anything. 13So they gathered the leftovers and filled twelve baskets with leftover bread.

14The people who had witnessed this and other miracles said, “This really is the prophet that God promised to send!”


6:1 Here Yohan also uses the Roman name “Lake Tiberias” rather than just “Lake Galilee”.

14:13 The feeding of 5,000 families

(Mark 6:30-44, Luke 9:10-17, Yhn 6:1-14)

13When Yeshua heard what had happened to Yohan, he got a boat to take him to a quiet place by himself, but the crowds from the cities heard about it, and followed him around the shore of the lake on foot. 14So when he got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd of people and he felt compassion towards them, and he healed the sick people that they had brought.

15As evening was approaching, his followers came up and asked, “This place is quite isolated and it’s already late. Send the people back into the villages so they can buy themselves something to eat.”

16Oh, there’s no need to send them away,Yeshua answered. “you all give them something to eat.

17“We don’t have anything here” they responded, “except for five buns and two cooked fish.”

18Bring them here to me,” Yeshua instructed, 19then he told the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five buns and two fish and looking up to the sky, he blessed God/the food/the people???, broke the buns and gave the pieces to his apprentices to distribute to the crowds. 20Everyone there ate enough to be full, and then the apprentices picked up twelve baskets of leftover bread. 21There were about five thousand families there.

9:10 Yeshua feeds 5,000 families

(Yhn 6:1-14, Mark 6:30-44, Mat. 14:13-21)

10When the twelve apprentices returned back to Yeshua, they reported back to him everything they’d done. Then he took them to the town of Bethsaida for some private time, 11but the crowds saw where he went and followed after them, so he welcomed them and taught them about God’s kingdom as well as healing those who needed it.

12As the day was coming to an end, the twelve approached him and said, “Send the crowd away so that they can go into the nearby towns and countryside to find somewhere to stay and something to eat, because this place is very isolated.”

13But Yeshua told them, “You all give them something to eat.

“We don’t have anything more than just five breadrolls and two fish, unless we go and buy some food for all these people.” 14There were about 5,000 men (not counting women and children).

Then he told his apprentices, “Sit them down in rows of about fifty each. 15So they did that and everyone sat down. 16Then Yeshua took the five breadrolls and the two fish and looking up to the sky, he blessed them and broke them into pieces to give to the apprentices to distribute to the crowd. 17Everyone ate until they were satisfied, and then twelve baskets of leftover pieces were collected up afterwards.
