Capharnaum the town of Jesus
He left Nazareth and went to live in Capharnaum by the sea (Gospel of Matthew 4:13). He entered a boat, made a crossing, and came into his own town (Gospel of Matthew 9:1).

The House of Simon Peter
On leaving the synagogue he entered the house of Peter and Andrew with James and John (Gospel of Marc 1:29).

In Capharnaum the house of the Prince of the Apostles was changed into a church; the original walls, however, are still standing (Etheria, late fourth century AD).

We came to Capharnaum in the house of Saint Peter, which at present is a basilica (Anonimus Placentinus, 587).

The Synagogue
I am the bread of life (Gospel of John 6:18)? These things he said while teaching in the synagogue of Capharnaum (Gospel of John 6:59).

Archaeological Excavations: Father Gaudentius Orfali, 1921-1926; Fathers Vigilio C. Corbo and Stanislao Loffreda (1968-1986).
