Context — The Journey to Dalmanuthagenerated

9And about four thousand men were present. As soon as Jesus had dismissed the crowd,
10He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, testing Him by demanding from Him a sign from heaven.
12Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”

Mark 8:10 describes how Jesus, after feeding a large crowd, got into a boat with His disciples to travel to the district of Dalmanutha. This event follows a significant miracle and sets the stage for further interactions, particularly with the Pharisees, as noted in the subsequent verses. The mention of Dalmanutha indicates a specific geographical context that is important for understanding the narrative flow of Jesus' ministry.

The term Δαλμανουθά (i.e., *Dalmanoutha*) refers to a location near the Sea of Galilee, though its precise identification remains uncertain. It is mentioned only in this verse, marking a significant point in Jesus' journey.

The context implies that Dalmanutha is a place of transition in Jesus' ministry, as He moves from one region to another, emphasizing His active role in teaching and performing miracles.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

In the Berean Standard Bible, the phrase used is district, which is also reflected in the BSB and NETB. The KJV and ASV use parts, while the YLT and WEB opt for region.

The translations agree on the action of Jesus getting into a boat with His disciples, though they vary slightly in wording regarding the location.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb in this verse is ἦλθεν, He came, which governs the action of moving to a specific location. The structure includes a participial phrase ἐμβὰς, having climbed, indicating the action taken before the main verb.

The sentence is organized with a clear subject and verb, followed by prepositional phrases that clarify the movement and the context of the journey.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

Ver. 10-13. Matthew saith, he came into the coasts of Magdala; it is probable they were two contiguous tracts of land. We often read of the Pharisees coming to our Saviour to ask a sign. Had they not signs? What were all the miracles he wrought but signs of his Divine power and mission? But they ask for a sign from heaven, such a sign as Moses, Joshua, and Elijah gave them, by this means making a trial of his Divine power. Our Saviour, who never wrought miracles to satisfy men’ s curiosity, but only to confirm their faith, refuseth to show them any such sign as they desired, and leaves these coasts.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Latin VulgateAD 382–405

Et statim ascendens navim cum discipulis suis, venit in partes Dalmanutha.

Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Syriac Peshittaby AD 400

ܘܫܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܣܠܩ ܡܚܕܐ ܠܣܦܝܢܬܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܕܠܡܢܘܬܐ

The Bible of the Syriac-speaking church, in the language nearest to the Aramaic Jesus spoke.

Shown verse by verse rather than word by word: aligning a Greek word to its Latin or Syriac counterpart automatically would be guesswork, and a wrong alignment is worse than none.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word εὐθέως (i.e. *eutheōs*) is an adverb meaning 'immediately' or 'at once.' It is derived from εὐθύς and is used frequently in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels. Notably, some lexicons indicate that εὐθέως appears in various contexts, while others mention its interchangeability with εὐθύς in certain verses, particularly in Mark.

The Greek word ἐμβαίνω (i.e., *embaino*) means to step into or embark, particularly onto a ship. It appears in various contexts, such as entering a vessel or stepping into a situation. The New Testament references include Matthew 8:23 and others. Some entries note its use in classical literature for stepping in or advancing, while Dodson's entry is succinct, simply stating 'I embark'.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word πλοῖον (ploion) refers to a vessel or ship, derived from the verb meaning 'to sail.' It encompasses various types of boats, including merchant ships and small craft, and is frequently used in the New Testament, notably in Matthew 4:21-22 and Acts 21:2-3. The term has historical usage in classical literature as well.

The Greek word μετά (transliterated as meta) is a preposition that can mean 'with,' 'among,' or 'after,' depending on the case it governs (genitive, accusative, or sometimes dative). In the New Testament, it is used to indicate association or companionship, as in Mark 1:29, and to denote sequence in time or place, as seen in Hebrews 9:3. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

μετά

meta

a primary preposition (often used adverbially); properly, denoting

accompaniment; "amid" (local or causal); modified variously according

to the case (genitive association, or accusative succession) with

which it is joined; occupying an intermediate position between 575 or

1537 and 1519 or 4314; less intimate than 1722 and less close than

4862):--after(-ward), X that he again, against, among, X and,

+ follow, hence, hereafter, in, of, (up-)on, + our, X and

setting, since, (un-)to, + together, when, with (+ -out). Often used

in composition, in substantially the same relations of participation

or proximity, and transfer or sequence.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word μαθητής (i.e., *mathetes*) means a learner or disciple, derived from the verb for learning, μανθάνω (*manthanō*). It refers primarily to a follower of a teacher, especially in the context of Jesus and his twelve apostles, but also applies to early Christians generally. The term appears frequently in the New Testament, notably in Matthew and Acts.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25.

The Greek word ἔρχομαι (i.e., *erchomai*) means 'to come' or 'to go.' It is used in various contexts, often indicating arrival or return, and can apply to both people and events. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in references to the coming of the Messiah (e.g., Mt 11:3). Lexicons note its use with various prepositions to indicate direction or purpose.

εἰς is a preposition meaning 'into' or 'to,' used with the accusative case. It indicates direction, entrance, or limit, applicable to place, time, and figurative purposes. The New Testament frequently employs it to express movement toward locations or states, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:23. It can also denote relationships or results, such as 'for' or 'among.'

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

Th' adorning thee with so much art,

Is but a barb'rous skill.

μέρος (meros) means a part, share, or portion, often in relation to a whole. It can refer to physical divisions, such as regions or sections, as well as metaphorical uses like destiny or role in a situation. The New Testament uses it in various contexts, including John 13:8 and Acts 19:27, to denote both literal and figurative parts. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.

The word Δαλμανουθά (i.e., *Dalmanutha*) refers to an unidentified location near the Sea of Galilee, mentioned in Mark 8:10. It is noted as a small town possibly linked to Magdala.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Dalmanutha

A place on the west of the Sea of Galilee, mentioned only in Mark 8:10. In the parallel passage it is said that Christ came “into the borders of Magdala” (Matt. 15:39). It is plain, then, that Dalmanutha was near Magdala, which was probably the Greek name of one of the many Migdols (i.e., watch-towers) on the western side of the lake of Gennesaret. It has been identified in the ruins of a village about a mile from Magdala, in the little open valley of ‘Ain-el-Barideh, “the cold fountain,” called el-Mejdel, possibly the “Migdal-el” of Josh. 19:38.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

a town on the west side of the Sea of Galilee, near Magdala. (Matthew 15:39) and Mark 8:10 [MAGDALA] Dalmnnutha probably stood at the place called ’Ain-el-Barideh , "the cold fountain."

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

A town or village near the city of Magdala, Mr 8:10. Compare Mt 15:39. The exact situation of this place is uncertain; it lay, however, on the western shore of the sea of Galilee, north of Tiberias.
