  • Capernaum, the City of Jesus
    Capernaum “Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught.” (Mark 1:21) © 2017 David Padfield www.padfield.com Scripture taken from the New King James Version. Copyright 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc. Used by permission. All rights reserved. Capernaum, The City Of Jesus Introduction I. The city of Capernaum was a small fishing village on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, about two miles west of the Jordan River. A. The Hebrew name for this village is Keœfar NahΩum, which means, “village of Nahum.” B. While this ancient town is not mentioned by name in the Old Testament, it is mentioned sixteen times in the New Testament. C. Matthew refers to Capernaum as our Lord’s “own city” (Matt 9:1), for it became the center of His Galilean ministry. D. This is interesting since He was not born in Capernaum, His parents did not live in there, and He did not grow up there! E. Jesus performed more miracles and preached more sermons in and around Capernaum than at any other place during His entire ministry. F. The residents of this prosperous town were common people who made their living from fishing, agriculture, and trade. G. The road leading to Damascus passed nearby, providing a commercial link with regions to the north and south. H. Capernaum was also a garrison town, housing a detachment of Roman soldiers, under a centurion, along with government officials. II. It was in the vicinity of Capernaum that Jesus chose several of His apostles.

  • Reflection – a Crisis of Wine and Joy in Cana
    AA CCrriissiiss ooff WWiinnee aanndd JJooyy iinn CCaannaa A Contextual Reflection on John 2:1-11 A Long Time Favorite Passage Jesus’ first sign (miracle) of turning water into wine as recorded in John’s second “chapter” has long been one of my favorites. I was a member of a fraternity when I was first drawn to Christ in my college days. Back then it struck me as really neat that in this passage Jesus “kept the party going.” Now that was something a frat guy could relate to! Forty-five years later, the marriage feast at Cana is still one of my favorite passages, but for very different reasons. To take this tight rose bud of a passage (from a Western perspective) and allow its intricate petals to open up in full flower (from a Middle Eastern perspective), we need the context John always assumed his readers would know and understand, e.g., background regarding Cana; marriage feasts; village issues of shame, honor and reciprocal hospitality; ritual purification; as well as the Hebrew significance of wine. Cana Have you ever wondered why Jesus is even in Cana attending a wedding? Geography may offer some insight. Jesus grew up in Nazareth and based His Galilean ministry in Capernaum. While Nazareth is only about 17 miles from Capernaum as the crow flies and because of the often-hilly/mountainous terrain in the Galilee region, you can’t always walk the way the crow flies. Thus, the preferred 30-mile Nazareth-Capernaum walking route leaves Nazareth heading north toward Sepphoris and continues northward toward the Beth Netofa valley.

  • Emmaus Groups at St
    Weekly Bible Study Reflections for Emmaus Groups at St. Stephen’s Church, Richmond, Virginia Preparing for Sunday, April 10, 2016, Easter 3, Year C John 21:1-19 Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way. Gathered there together were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Just after daybreak, Jesus stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, you have no fish, have you?” They answered him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in because there were so many fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on some clothes, for he was naked, and jumped into the sea. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards off. When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn.

  • THE WEDDING FEAST at CANA (Jn 2:1-11)
    THE WEDDING FEAST AT CANA (Jn 2:1-11) By Jim Seghers John‟s ostensibly simple narrative of the wedding feast at Cana explodes in layers of meaning when it is examined in faith. This reflection proposes to offer some insights that may deepen your understanding and stimulate your discoveries in this rich passage. It is no accident that John begins his Gospel with the identical words that open the Bible: “In the beginning” (Gen 1:1). In the first chapter of Genesis the emphasis is on the ascending order of creation culminating in formation of Adam and Eve on the sixth day. In the recapitulation in second chapter of Genesis the emphasis shifts to the covenant God established with his favorite creatures to whom God gave dominion over the earth. This covenantal relationship is depicted in the Bible as a family bond or a marriage. In the first chapter of John‟s Gospel the evangelist lays out a literary new creation week. On the first day the Word who is God is depicted as coming to make a “new creation” (2 Cor 5:17). He is both “life” and the “light of men” paralleling the first day of creation in Genesis when God said: “Let there be light” (Jn 1:4; Gen 1:3). The first three days of John‟s literary creation week are laid out as follows: First Day: Jn 1:1-34 Second Day: Jn 1:29-34 beginning with the words: “The next day.” Third Day: Jn 1:35-42 beginning with the words: “The next day.” Fourth Day: Jn 1:43-51 beginning with the words: “The next day.” Seventh Day: Jn 2:1-11 wedding at Cana Chapter two introduces the marriage at Cana with the words: “On the third day” (Jn 2:1).
