Continuing our journey reliving the life of Jesus at Capernaum, The Town of Jesus. According to the Gospels, Jesus selected Capernaum as the center of his public ministry in the Galilee after he left the small mountainous hamlet of Nazareth. Capernaum is cited in all four gospels where it was reported to have been near the hometown of the apostles Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John, as well as the tax collector Matthew. One Sabbath, Jesus taught in the synagogue and healed a man who was possessed by an unclean spirit. Then he healed Simon Peter’s mother-in-law of a fever. It is also the place where the centurion’s servant was healed.
