SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:11

Y tom� Jes�s aquellos panes, y habiendo dado gracias, reparti� a los discípulos, y los discípulos a los que estaban recostados; asimismo de los peces, cuanto querían.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 6:11

Verse 11. Jesus took the loaves] See the notes on Matt. xiv. 19-21. As there were five loaves and five thousand people, so there was one loaf to every thousand men, independently of the women and children.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. And Jesus took the loaves , etc.] Into his hands, as also the fishes, in order to feed the multitude with them: and when he had given thanks ; for them, and blessed them, or implored a blessing on them, that they might be nourishing to the bodies of men, as was his usual manner, and which is an example to us; he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were sat down . The Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions, only read, �he distributed to them that were sat down�: but it was not by his own hands, but by the means of the disciples, who received from him, and gave it to them; so that the sense is the same; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they would ; that is, they had as much, both of the bread and of the fishes, distributed to them, and which they took and ate, as they chose: in some printed copies it is read, �as much as he would�, and so the Persic version; that is, as much as Jesus would; but the former is the true reading, and makes the miracle more illustrious.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-14 - John relates the miracle of feeding the multitude, for its reference to the following discourse. Observe the effect this miracle had upon the people. Even the common Jews expected the Messiah to come into the world, and to be a great Prophet. The Pharisees despised them as no knowing the law; but they knew most of Him who is the end of the law Yet men may acknowledge Christ as that Prophet, and still turn a dea ear to him.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

11. Given thanks. All the Synoptists relate his looking up to heaven and blessing. Perhaps he used the familiar formula, "Blessed art thou Jehovah our God, King of the world, who causes to come forth bread from the earth."

To the disciples, and the disciples. The best texts omit. Render, as Rev., He distributed to them that were set down.

Likewise of the fishes. So also Mark.

As much as they would. Peculiar to John.
