Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 8:10-13

Mark 8:10-13. He entered into a ship, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha Matthew says that, having fed the multitude, he took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala: but the evangelists may easily be reconciled, by supposing that Dalmanutha was a city and territory within the district of Magdala. The Pharisees came forth and began to question with him The Pharisees, having heard of the second miraculous dinner, and fearing that the whole common people would acknowledge him for... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 8:1-10

71. Ministry in the Decapolis (Matthew 15:29-39; Mark 7:31-8:10)From the Mediterranean towns of Phoenicia, Jesus returned to the region around the Sea of Galilee, then continued on into the Decapolis, where the population was largely Gentile. It seems that for a period his ministry was mainly among Gentiles, and many became believers in the God of Israel (Matthew 15:29-31; Mark 7:31). One of the people he healed was a deaf and dumb man. Because of the man’s deafness, Jesus used actions rather... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 8:10

10. And straightway he entered into a ship—"into the ship," or "embarked." with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha—In Matthew ( :-) it is "the coasts of Magdala." Magdala and Dalmanutha were both on the western shore of the lake, and probably not far apart. From the former the surname "Magdalene" was probably taken, to denote the residence of Mary Magdalene. Dalmanutha may have been a village, but it cannot now be identified with certainty. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 8:1-30

C. The second cycle of self-revelation to the disciples 8:1-30The disciples had not yet understood the lessons that Jesus sought to teach them. Mark constructed his Gospel to show that in His discipleship training Jesus repeated lessons to train them. One writer noticed the following repetitive parallel structure in this section of the Gospel. [Note: Lane, p. 269.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 8:6-30

IV. THE SERVANT’S SELF-REVELATION TO THE DISCIPLES 6:6B-8:30The increasing hostility of Israel’s religious leaders and the rejection of the multitudes (Mark 3:7 to Mark 6:6 a) led Jesus to concentrate on training His disciples increasingly. This section of Mark’s Gospel shows how Jesus did that. While Jesus gave his disciples increasing responsibility for ministry (Mark 6:6-30), the focus of Jesus’ instruction was His own identity, which the disciples had great difficulty understanding (Mark... read more

2. The return to Galilee 8:10 (cf. Matthew 15:39)Jesus and the disciples returned to Galilee by boat after they had fed the 5,000 (Mark 6:45-56). They did the same thing after feeding the 4,000. The exact location of Dalmanutha is unknown, but it must have been near Magadan (Magdala?) on the west side of the lake (Matthew 15:39). read more
