Capernaum was a fishing village and trading post on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee during the first century AD. In the Bible, Capernaum was described as the village along the border of Zebulon and Naphtali where Jesus made his home after leaving Nazareth and starting his ministry (Matthew 4:13). It’s at Capernaum where we have early accounts of Jesus teaching both Jews in the synagogue and Romans in the homes. Jesus called four fishermen (Peter, Andrew, James and John) and a tax collector (Matthew) as disciples at Capernaum.

Bethlehem
The city of Bethlehem is about six miles south of Jerusalem in Israel. Bethlehem was the birthplace of David (1 Samuel 16) and the birth place of Jesus Christ (Matthew 2:1). Remarkably, the prophet Micah predicted that the Messiah of Israel would be born in the small village of Bethlehem about 700 years before the birth of Christ (Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:6).
