And after sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan. The dispersal and departure by boat to Magadan (or Magdala, on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee) completes the chapter's movement from the Galilean controversy (Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem) through the Phoenician territory (Canaanite woman) to the Decapolis region (four-thousand feeding) and back across the lake. The chapter communicates the geographical expansion of the kingdom's ministry alongside the deepening of its theological content.
