Proof for the Bible (6)
The Synagogue at Capernaum
Archaeological Find:
Archaeologists have restored a synagogue that stood there some 350 years after Jesus' time. However, recently it was discovered that this synagogue was built over the foundation of the synagogue from Jesus' time, confirming that this is the place where important Bible events took place.
Importance of the Find:
Capernaum served as Jesus' headquarters during his ministry in Galilee. According to Mark 1:21-38, 3:1-6, Luke 4:31-37, and John 6:59, Jesus both taught and healed people in the synagogue.
