MRK 8:1–10, engwebp
¹In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself and said to them,
²“I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
³If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.”
⁴His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
⁵He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
⁶He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.
⁷They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
⁸They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
⁹Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
¹⁰Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.

  ³⁴Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”

After a feeding with seven loaves, Mark 8:10 has him go by boat into the region of Dalmanutha, and Matthew 15:39 into the borders of Magdala, which the Korean Revised Version calls 마가단. This collection records Dalmanutha apart and does not decide whether it is the same place.
