Biblical Places

Jesus' ministry headquarters in Galilee, home to Peter and several other disciples.

Biblical Significance

Jesus made Capernaum His home base during His Galilean ministry (Matthew 4:13). Here He healed Peter's mother-in-law (Mark 1:29-31), the paralytic lowered through the roof (Mark 2:1-12), and taught in the synagogue (John 6:59).

Historical Context

Capernaum was a prosperous fishing village on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee. Archaeological excavations have uncovered a 4th-century synagogue built on the foundation of the synagogue where Jesus taught, and a house believed to be Peter's home.
