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 And they ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces that were left, seven baskets [full].

9 Now there were about four thousand. And he sent them away.

10 And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples [and] went to the district of Dalmanutha.

11 And the Pharisees came and began to argue with him, demanding from him a sign from heaven [in order to] test him.

12 And sighing deeply in his spirit, he said, "Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation!"
