Mark 8:10 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:10

And straightway he entered into a ship, with his disciples,
&c.] As soon as ever he had, dismissed the multitude, he took shipping with his disciples; for he was at the sea of Galilee, either at a place near it, or upon the shore of it; see ( Mark 7:31 ) ;

and came into the parts of Dalmanutha;
which Matthew calls, "the coasts of Magdala"; (See Gill on Matthew 15:39). The Arabic version reads it, "Magdal"; and in two of Beza's copies it is read, "Madegada"; but the Syriac version reads, "Dalmanutha"; and the Persic, "Dalmanuth"; and the Ethiopic, "Dalmathy": it was a city in the coasts of Magdala, and is thought by Dr. Lightfoot to be the same with Tzalmon, or Salmon, a place often mentioned ^F6 in the Jewish writings.

Mark 8:10 In-Context

8 The people ate their fill; and the talmidim took up the leftover pieces, seven large basketsful.

9 About four thousand were there.

10 After sending them away, Yeshua got into the boat with his talmidim and went off to the district of Dalmanuta.

11 The P'rushim came and began arguing with him; they wanted him to give them a sign from Heaven, because they were out to trap him.

12 With a sigh that came straight from his heart, he said, "Why does this generation want a sign? Yes! I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation!"
