"And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught" (Mark 1st 21). The archaeological site of Capernaum is all that is left of an ancient city once extremely prosperous and important, especially in the period when Jesus was preaching. There are accounts of several miracles performed by Jesus in that city, such as the resurrection of the daughter of the alderman of the synagogue: "And he took the damsel by the hand, and said to her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel I say unto thee, arise" (Mark, 5th 1-10); the healing of the centurion's servant (Luke 7th 1-10), and the chasing out of an unclean spirit from a man in the synagogue (Mark 1st 23-26).
