Sample question
In which town did Jesus base his Galilean ministry?
"And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali."Matthew 4:13
Nazareth was Jesus's hometown, but after his rejection there (Luke 4) he based his Galilean ministry in Capernaum — a fishing town on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee. Peter's house was there, and a synagogue (the foundations of which are still visible at the site today) was the setting for several Gospel miracles.
