Over Peter's House

Floor House of Peter

The passages in Matthew and Mark indicate not only that Peter’s house was in Capernaum, but that it was extremely close to the synagogue. The house site is just outside the entrance of the synagogue remains, 84 feet to the south, less than a minute walk away. One of the miracles of Jesus occurred here—the healing of the centurion’s servant (Matthew 8:5, Luke 7:1, Mark 2:1).
