Places
Capernaum in Mark 9
kuh-PER-nay-um
This place shows up in Mark 9:33: “He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Mark 9:33
“He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?””
What kids can learn
