I’ll be honest with you before we go any further: Capernaum is small. You could speed-walk the entire archaeological site in fifteen minutes flat. But Capernaum isn’t a place you rush — it’s a place you sit down in. This little fishing village on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee was, according to the Gospels, the actual home base of Jesus’s ministry, the place he lived after leaving Nazareth, the place where he called his first disciples off their fishing boats, and the place where some of the best-known miracles in the New Testament are set.
