Capernaum (Franciscan) — Hometown of Jesus

Capernaum is mentioned 16 times in the New Testament. It served as Jesus’ "headquarters" during his public ministry. Several disciples were from Capernaum and many miracles were performed here. It was a fishing village with a tollbooth and a synagogue. Indeed, it was large enough to be the residence of a public official and a Roman centurion.
