Proof for the Bible (5)
The House Church at Capernaum
Archaeological Find
While excavating an early church building at Capernaum in 1968, archaeologists found that the building had been placed over a house from the time of Jesus.
Importance of the Find
Matthew 8:14, Mark 1;29 and Luke 4:38 all speak of Peter's house and Jesus' visits there. This may be the reason Christians worship at this site.
