Stories From The New Testament: Chapter 6 - The Fishermen of Galilee - Shirley King Johnson - August 1981

Shirley King Johnson

Capernaum was a prosperous city on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee. Since the city was on a busy trade route, it was a convenient place to collect taxes and a tax office was located there. The sweet, sparkling waters of the lake helped fishing flourish, and Capernaum's shores were busy with fishermen and their boats, merchants, buyers and sellers. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
