Capernaum - The town of Jesus

Israel video tour with David Hyman, professional tour guide. The Galilee town of Capernaum is the town mentioned most times in the New Testament after Jerusalem. Capernaum is the mispronunciation of the Hebrew name Kfar (village) of Nachum. The town was one of the Judean fishing towns along the northern shore of the lake, that thrived during the first century CE, and the main income was from fishing, farming, and possibly trade as the town was a border town on the ancient highway leading north to Damascus. The Gospels tell us the Jesus left Nazareth and settled in Capernaum for about three years, in which the town became the base of Jesus's ministry in Galilee. This is where Jesus performed many of the miracles of healing and exorcism, from here Jesus went on his journies to Banias, Kursi, Sidon, and the Mount of Beatitudes. From here Jesus boarded the boat to preach from the sea and it is here where Jesus recruited his first four disciples, all fishermen from this region. Our tour will take us to the highlights of Capernaum, which were excavated and restored by the Franciscan fryers. First, we will visit the White Synagogue dating to the 4th century AD and the display f the engraved stone items. Then we will observe the ruins of Jesus's room in Saint Peter's home and the modern church that was built above them. We will end with a relaxing and meditative stroll along the waters of Lake Kineret - The Sea of Galilee.

Please pray for me. Heavenly Father in Christ I put all my trust into you. I’m keeping my faith in Jesus. I was fired from my job for not getting the vaccine. I’m a single mother with two boys. I’m struggling desperately to provide for them. I’ve been out of work for over a month. I’m so ashamed of my situation. I have no family nor friends. But I KNOW GOD WILL PROVIDE! Thank you Jesus!

I enjoyed this tour with the sounds of water running. Fascinating to see Jesus’ room where he lived. He had many friends who lived here, including Simon Peter and his family!

I have recently been to this place. I could feel the presence of God (Jesus) very much alive...I had goosebumps.

Jesus is alive.. Amen 🙏

I praise God for His faithfulness in preserving this piece of archaeology. In a sense, one can think of the Sea of Galilee and truly sing, "I sailed today where Jesus sailed in days of long ago. . . ." I'm planning to visit Capernaum early next year with a tour of other pastors. Your videos are helping to better prepare me for what, Lord willing, I'm hoping to see.
