“The disciples
Had forgotten
To bring any bread.
They had only
One loaf
With them
In the boat.”
Καὶ ἐπελάθοντο λαβεῖν ἄρτους, καὶ εἰ μὴ ἕνα ἄρτον οὐκ εἶχον μεθ’ ἑαυτῶν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ.
There is something similar in Matthew, chapter 16:5. In Matthew, the disciples discovered this problem when they landed on the other side of the Sea of Galilee. However, Mark said that it took place while they were still in the boat. In an ironic twist of fate, the disciples of Jesus forget to bring any bread with them on this trip across the Sea of Galilee, with no indication of the place where they going. Mark said that the disciples forgot to bring loaves of bread (Καὶ ἐπελάθοντο λαβεῖν ἄρτους). They only had one loaf of bread (καὶ εἰ μὴ ἕνα ἄρτον οὐκ εἶχον) with them (μεθ’ ἑαυτῶν) in the boat (ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ). Bread was a key food element of nourishment. Remember the bread of life.
