Kapernaumu

Kapernaumu (pia Kafarnaumu, kwa Kiebrania Herufi פַ katika mwandiko wa Kiebrania inaweza kuandikwa kama "P" au "F" kwa mwandiko wa Kilatini   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).Freedman, DN 2000, Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible, Amsterdam University Press 

Kilikuwa na wakazi 1,500 hiviReed, JL, Archaeology and the Galileen Jesus: A Reexamination of the Evidence (Harrisburg: Trinity Press International, 2000) 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).
