The base of operations for Jesus' Galilean ministry — "his own city" (Matt 9:1). Site of Peter's mother-in-law's healing, the paralytic let down through the roof, the centurion's servant, and the bread of life discourse. Ruins of a 4th-century synagogue likely stand over the foundations of the one where Jesus taught.
