Mark 6:38-44 But He now says to them, "How many loaves of bread do you folks presently have? Go and see." And so, coming to know (= when they found out), they are then saying, "Five, plus two fishes."

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁸ But He now says to them, "How many loaves of bread do you folks presently have? Go and see." And so, coming to know (= when they found out), they are then saying, "Five, plus two fishes." ³⁹ So He gave instructions to them, arranging for everyone to recline (lie back) upon the green grass, in groups for [eating and] drinking together (or: mess-party by mess-party; company by company). ⁴⁰ And so they fell back (= laid back or reclined) plot by plot (or: similar to garden beds) [in groups] by hundreds and by fifties. [comment: = an organized mass of people] ⁴¹ Then receiving and taking the five loaves of bread and the two fishes, He, while looking up into the heaven (or: the sky and atmosphere), He spoke words of wellness and ease (or: He blessed) and broke down the loaves (or: cakes) into pieces and began giving [them] to the [other: MSS add: His] disciples so that they could place [them] beside the people. And the two fishes He parted and divided to all (or: for and among everyone). ⁴² So they all ate and were fed (literally: pastured) until satisfied (or: gorged). ⁴³ Then they [i.e., the disciples] picked up [the] fragments ([left over] results of the breaking the loaves into pieces) – twelve wicker food baskets filled full – as well as from the fishes. ⁴⁴ Now those then eating the loaves of bread were (= numbered) five thousand males (or: men).
