8 So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments.
9 Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away,

The Pharisees Seek a Sign
11aThen the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.

14aNow1 the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.

Into the parts of Dalmanutha (eiv ta merh Dalmanouqa). Matthew 15:39 calls it "the borders of Magadan." Both names are unknown elsewhere, but apparently the same region of Galilee on the western side of the lake not far from Tiberias. Mark here uses "parts" (merh) in the same sense as "borders" (oria) in Mark 7:24 just as Matthew reverses it with "parts" in Matthew 15:21 and "borders" here in Matthew 15:39. Mark has here "with his disciples" (meta twn maqhtwn autou) only implied in Matthew 15:39.
