Places
Capernaum in John 6
kuh-PER-nay-um
This place shows up in John 6:17: “and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
John 6:17
“and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.”
What kids can learn
