Simon/Peter's actual house Capernaum - The town of Jesus












Capernaum contains the remains of a church from the fifth century AD which is octagonal in shape. In 1968, archaeologists discovered the remains of an earlier church underneath it. This had been built around what was originally a private house, which was apparently used by Christians as a meeting-place during the second half of the first century. Today a modern church exists, suspended above the site, with the excavation site visible through a glass floor.
Peter Walker, professor of Biblical Studies at Trinity School for Ministry, says: “Graffiti that referred to Jesus as Lord and Messiah...provides strong evidence that the room was used as a place of Christian worship – almost certainly because it was believed to be the room used by Jesus, perhaps the home of Simon Peter (Luke 4:38)... Given that the early tradition goes back to the first century, this is almost certainly the very place where Jesus stayed – the home of his chief apostle, Peter.”

He is depicted in the Tanakh as a man of power on earth and a mighty hunter. Extra-biblical traditions associating him with the Tower of Babel led to his reputation as a king who rebelled against God. Several Mesopotamian ruins were given Nimrod’
