| Notes: |
Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(Matthew, xii:9-10.)--The site of the ancient city
here photographed is covered with a rank growth of bushes and weeds. But lying half covered by the rank vegetation are pillars
wrought out of the indigenous limestone, and decorated with beautiful Corinthian capitals, hewn architraves, elaborate friezes
and pedestals. In the picture is presented a view of a part of the wall of the ancient synagogue. It was in Capernaum that
Christ performed more of His miracles than in any other city, and in this synagogue it is supposed He performed the miracle
of healing the man with the withered hand, referred to in Matthew, xii: 9-10. Here, also, Christ is supposed to have appeared
to the disciples after He arose from the dead." See 5420BAI/LVii146CAJS (Voyager # 362433)
