It served as a central hub for Jesus' ministry in Galilee. The town is frequently referenced as a place where Jesus performed miracles and taught in the synagogue.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Capernaum was a prosperous fishing village located on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee. It was a key location in the region of Galilee during the time of Jesus, with a mixed population of Jews and Gentiles. The town was strategically positioned on the Via Maris, an ancient trade route, which contributed to its economic significance. Capernaum housed a Roman garrison and a tax office, indicating its importance in the Roman administration. Archaeological excavations have uncovered a synagogue and residential structures, providing insights into the town's historical and cultural context.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>variant reading for <a href="/greek/2746b.htm">Kapharnaoum</a>, q.v.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2584: Καπερναούμ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Καπερναούμ</span></span> or more correctly (with <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> (cf. <span class="manuref">WH</span>s Appendix, p. 160; <span class="abbreviation">Scrivener</span>, Introduction, p. 561)) <span class="greek2">Καφαρναούμ</span> (<span class="hebrew">כָּפָר</span> a village, and <span class="hebrew">נָחוּם</span> consolation; hence 'the village of consolation,' (others, 'village of Nachum' (a proper name)); <span class="greek2">Καπαρναουμ</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Ptolemy</span>, 5, 16, 4), <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, <span class="accented">Capernaum or Capharnaum,</span> a flourishing city of Galilee (<a href="/interlinear/matthew/11-23.htm">Matthew 11:23</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/10-15.htm">Luke 10:15</a>), situated on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee or Lake of Gennesaret (<a href="/interlinear/john/6-17.htm">John 6:17, 24</a>; hence <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">παραθαλασσια</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/4-13.htm">Matthew 4:13</a>), near the place where the Jordan flows into the lake.
