(Mat. 15:32-39; Mark 8:1-9).
The Lord spent three days with the people on the barren banks of the Gennesaret Lake. Supplies of bread had been used up, there was nowhere to buy any and the Lord performed anew, the miracle of feeding the masses; this time — four thousand with 7 loaves. On this occasion, there were 7 baskets of bread remaining. Having fed the people, the Lord sent them on their way, while He and His Apostles made their way by boat to the western bank, to the region of Magdala or as Saint Mark notes, Damanuthian region. Dalmanutha was a small village, situated beside the city of Magdala that was located on the western side of the Lake of Galilee.
