DALMANUTHA

(Gk. Dalmanouthá)

A place on the shore of the Sea of Galilee to which Jesus withdrew following the feeding of the four thousand (Mark 8:10). Variants of the name include Dalmounai (Codex Washingtonensis), Mageda (minuscules 28, 565), Magedan (Syriac Sinaiticus), and Melegada (Codex Bezae). In the parallel passage (Matt. 15:39) Magdala/Magadan appears as the name of the district.

The location and identification of Dalmanutha is unknown, although it has been identified as a small anchorage W of Capernaum.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
