Location
1. Capernaum is located on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee.
2. Capernaum was located on the Via Maris, which was the main international highway of the known world during the time of Christ.
3. Today, Capernaum is shared between two sites. The Franciscan site receives around 90% of visitors as it has the synagogue, Peter’s home, village ruins, ancient artifacts, and access to the beach. The Greek Orthodox site has chosen to remain unexcavated and serene.
Historical Background
1. The name Capernaum is derived from two words, Caper, which means "village," and Naum, which means "rest," and is also from the title, Nahum. Therefore, some believe that the town was named after the Prophet Nahum, and some believe it was simply a place of rest.
2. Capernaum was a fishing village with a population of around 1,000 during the time of Christ. It encompassed what is today both the Franciscan and Greek Orthodox sites.
3. Capernaum became the hometown of Jesus after He moved from his boyhood home of Nazareth. It also became the ministry base of Christ during His ministry on earth (Matthew 4:13-17).
4. Capernaum is mentioned more than any other town around the Sea of Galilee.
5. Capernaum was also the home of Peter, James, Andrew, John, and Matthew.
6. The Synagogue in Capernaum was built by a Roman Centurion of whom Jesus healed his servant.
7. The synagogue that existed during Christ’s time is made from black basalt stone, and its foundations are under the current synagogue, built out of limestone.
8. The current synagogue was built in the 4th century and was quite luxurious and impressive.
9. The home of the Apostle Peter has been identified and now has a large modern church built over it. The location of Peter’s home is certain and has been verified by many substantial archaeological excavations.
10. Greek Orthodox site of Capernaum. This church was built in 1931 and dedicated to the twelve apostles.
Places of Interest
1. The home of Peter and Jesus
2. Village Houses
3. The Synagogue
4. Ancient Artifacts
5. Capernaum Greek Orthodox Site
6. Capernaum National Park
Capernaum in the Bible
1. Christ left Nazareth to live and set up His ministry base in Capernaum (Matthew 4:13-16).
2. Jesus frequently taught in the Synagogue in Capernaum (Mark 1:21-28).
3. Jesus healed Peter’s mother and many others here in Capernaum (Mark 1:29-34).
4. In Capernaum, Jesus forgave and healed a paralyzed man. This likely happened right at the home where Jesus lived (Mark 2:1-5).
5. Christ marveled at the great faith of a centurion in Capernaum (Luke 7:1-10).
6. The Parables of the Kingdom were preached close to Capernaum (Matthew 13:1-3).
7. The miracle of Peter getting money out of the mouth of a fish to pay the temple tax for himself and Jesus happened in Capernaum (Matthew 17:24-27).
8. Jesus called Matthew, the tax collector, close to Capernaum (Matthew 9:9).
9. Capernaum was one of the three towns Christ cursed because of their unbelief in Him (Matthew 11:23-24).
Faith Lesson from Capernaum
1. Christ astonished the large crowds who followed him because He taught with authority. He was completely different from all other teachers because He was God in the flesh. Are we astonished today as we read Christ’s teachings in His Word?
2. Christ healed multitudes of people in and around Capernaum. He also showed He was God as He forgave their sins. Forgiving sins is something only God can do. Do we believe Christ was God in the flesh and full deity?
3. Christ marveled at the great faith of a Roman Centurion. Do we trust God in such a way that He would marvel at our faith?
4. Unfortunately, Christ cursed the town of Capernaum because of their unbelief in Him. After all they had seen, and after many of them had been healed by Jesus, they still were filled with unbelief. Unbelief is, therefore, a sin. Do we have unbelief in Christ and who He claimed to be? Do we also have unbelief in trusting Him in our daily lives when things don’t seem to make sense?

Joshua 1:8 tells not to let the Word of God depart from your mouth! As a believer in Yeshua you are in covenant with him! Stand in faith for going to Israel! Good to watch videos,too, but best to see it in reality! 💕🙏 Am Yisrael Chai! Long live the people of Israel! 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱❤ Please, if you live in New York, move!

I was there in 1994 as a young Soldier who was still living in sin because I was a single man and alone in the world, far from home and family. Jesus was always with me every step of the way. I wish that my family and I could have been a part of your tour. It's a blessing to watch your video. Thank you my friend. God bless you.

I am a web listener who visited Israel in December 2019 just before the pandemic broke out. It is interesting to see the places again, remember the beautiful birds that sat in the trees. An enchanting place. Then I must praise you because you really have the gift of speech and it is a joy to follow your teaching. Cheers from Sweden. 🇸🇪

Facing East is spiritually very important. Like Fink said that the sun rises in the east. When we face Eastward, we are looking directly into the face of God sitting on His throne. This is why many churches are facing East. One of the men mentioned in the Bible, opened his window facing East and prayed to God. We also are to pray facing East as well. I really enjoyed the video, and it felt like I was there as well. I always wanted to know what a millstone looked like. Now I know!!! Amen.
