The synagogue in Capernaum where Jesus taught.
“Capernaum was central to Jesus’ Galilean ministry,” noted Pastor Jim Fritsche who was on the Epiphany 2015 tour.
Within walking distance of this town on the shores of Galilee you have the location of the Sermon on the Mount, the miracle of the multiplication of loaves and fish, the healing of many people, the teaching in the synagogue, the calming of the sea, Jesus walking on the water and Jesus meetings His disciples after His resurrection. So many events in and around Capernaum. Since it is considered Jesus’ home base, it is part of every Holy Land itinerary. The Church of St. Peter’s House is built over a site believed to be the home of Peter and his family around which an octagonal church was built in the 4th century.
