From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 39. Coasts of Magdala. Mark says, "The parts of Dalmanutha"." These were probably small towns on the east side of the sea of Galilee, and near to each other. The evangelists do not say that he went to either of those towns, but only to the coasts, or parts, where they were situated. {b} "and came into the coasts" Mr 8:10 REMARKS ON MATTHEW CHAPTER 15 We learn from this chapter, (1.) That men are often far more attached to traditions, and the commandments of men, than the law of God, Mt 15:1-6. (2.) That men are strongly disposed to explain away the law of God, if possible. It is too strict for them, and too spiritual.
