Peter’s House: Jesus’ house in Caparnome?

In most parts of his adult life, Jesus’ house was in a small fishing village of Caparnom, located on the Galilee Sea. During the early age of Christianity, he started his ministry in the Town Worship (Mark 1: 21), recruiting his first disciples (Mark 1: 16-20) and became famous for his power to heal ill and bad (Mark 3: 1-5).

The early passengers of this place had long recognized the beauty of the ancient synagogue, which many people believe that Jesus is not the original building of his early education, if not the original building. But an important description of this has still begun Christianity: Where did Jesus live in the city? Where was Peter’s house, about which the Bible shows that Jesus’ house was in the kepper (Matthew 8:14-16)?

The Italian excavators working in the keppernome have really exposed the remains of Peter’s humble house which Jesus called home while living in the Caiparnom. (Peter’s House was one of the first archaeological discoveries of the Bible that was reported Repetitive More than 25 years ago).

Burials under the supporters of the Ottagunal Byzantine martyrdom, the excavators received the ruins of an extraordinary houses instead of the first century BC.

Under the foundations of the church of this octgunal Byzantine martyrdom in the keppernome, archaeologists said an interesting thing about the Bible’s most interesting discovery: a simple ad house of the first century that could be Jesus’ home in Peter’s house, kepper. Photo: Garo Nilbandin.

Although most of the house was easier, the house was simple, with coarse walls and roofs and straws of the ground. Like early Roman houses, it consisted of some small rooms that were clusted around two open courtiers. Later, despite being one of the most interesting archaeological discoveries of the Bible, the house looked quite common. However, according to the excavators, this happened to the house after the first century CE, which made it unusual and probably. The house of the house, which was Jesus’ house in the keppernome.

Immediately after Jesus’ death, the house’s work changed dramatically. The main room of the house was completely plaster from the floor to the ceiling. Almost at the same time, home pottery, which was previously a domestic cooking utensils and cups, now includes completely large storage jars and oil lamps. Such a basic change shows that the house no longer acts as a residence, but instead sectarian gatherings, possibly even became a place for Christian gatherings, an important factor of how Christianity began. As many of the Bible archaeological discoveries, often small details are most convinced in the ancient substances for Bible events and characters.

For example, excavators found that during the coming centuries, the plaster room was renovated from the original house and was turned into the central church’s central hall. The old stone walls of the room were cut off by a newly constructed two -storey monument, resulting in the support of a new stone roof. Even the room was re -filled and painted with flowers and geometric designs of different colors.

The key role of the building in understanding the beginning of Christianity was confirmed by more than nine hundred grafts in the walls of the church. Most of the shit say things like “Help the Lord Jesus Christ your servant” or “have mercy on Christ”. They are written in Greek, Seraik or Hebrew, and sometimes even small crossings or in a case, in a case, a boat. Excavators claim that Peter’s name is mentioned in several grafts, though many scholars now dispute over reading them.

This simple building of the church, helps to determine how Christianity began, survived for more than 300 years, before it was replaced by a well -built octural martyr church in the fifth century. The octgunal martyrs were designed to remind an important site, such as Peter’s real home, once standing here. The internal sanctuary of the octgunal building was built directly above the remains of the first century house, which had previously formed the main hall of the church.

Bible archaeological discoveries are not cut and dry matters. Although there is no definite evidence in this example that the ruin of the house exposed by the excavators is actually the ancient home of Peter, but in the early Christianity, it is a layer of evidence of the situation to support its importance, and its keepernom and its most important disciple, with Jesus in Peter. Was it not meant to be associated with Jesus and Peter, because an event of a run of the first century in the keepernome will become the main place of Christian worship and identity for centuries to come?
