Capernaum in Luke 4
kuh-PER-nay-um
This place shows up in Luke 4:23: “He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this parable, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Luke 4:23
“He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this parable, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’””
