Galilee 호수가의 도시이다. 예수님께서 마치 제2의 고향처럼 지내신 곳이다.

12 Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee .
13
예수님이 살던 당시에는 상당히 번화한 도시로 유대인들의 회당과 세관이 있었을 정도였다.
1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum .
2 A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
4 When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose and followed him.
예수님이 주로 지내셨던 곳일 뿐만 아니라
Peter ,
Andrew ,
야고보 ,
요한 ,
Matthew 를 부르신 곳이기도 하다.
18 Walking by the sea of Galilee , he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter , and Andrew , his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
19 He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”
20 They immediately left their nets and followed him.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee , and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.
22 They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.
당시 번화했던 도시로 예수님은 그 도시의 교만함을 책망하셨다. 실제 역사적으로도 가버나움은 황폐화가 되어 현재는 유적으로만 남아있다.
You, Capernaum , who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today.
