At Capernaum Jesus dwelt in the intervals of His journeys to and fro, and it came to be known as "His own city." It was on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, and near the borders of the beautiful plain of Gennesaret, if not actually upon it.

I tiden mellem sine rejser hid og did boede Jesus i Kapernium. og den blev omtalt som "hans egen by". Den lå ved bredden af Galilæas sø og i nærheden af den smukke Genezaret slette eller måske ligefrem på denne slette.
