Commentators unanimously note that the location of 'Dalmanutha' is unknown today. They point to the parallel account in Matthew 15:39, which names the destination as 'Magdala.' The scholarly consensus is that both names likely refer to the same general region on the western coast of the Sea of Galilee.
