Kapernaumu

Kapernaumu (pia Kafarnaumu, kwa Kiebrania כְּפַר נַחוּם, Kfar Nahum, yaani "Kijiji cha Nahum") ilikuwa kijiji cha uvuvi upande wa kaskazini wa Ziwa Galilaya kilichoanzishwa wakati wa ufalme wa ukoo wa Wahasmonei (karne ya 2 KK). Kilikuwa na wakazi 1,500 hivi na masinagogi mawili. Nyumba iliyogeuzwa kuwa kanisa inasemekana ilikuwa ya Mtume Petro. Kijiji kiliachwa mahame katika karne ya 11 BK. This includes the re-establishment of the village during the Early Islamic period soon after the 749 earthquake. Katika Injili Kapernaumu inatajwa na Injili zote nne (Math 4:13, 8:5, 11:23, 17:24, Mk 1:21, 2:1, 9:33, Lk 4:23, 31,7:1, 10:15, Yoh 2:12, 4:46, 6:17, 24,59). Inaonekana ilikuwa makao makuu (Math 4:12–17) ya kundi la Yesu lililozungukazunguka hasa katika mkoa wa Galilaya. Huko Yesu alitoa mafundisho mengi na kufanya miujiza mingi; lakini kwa kutotubu ilipokea hukumu yake (Math 11:23).
