Looking from the synagogue toward what may be Peter's house in the background, covered by a modern structure. There is some speculation that the house in the foreground may have been Yeshua's. (Consider: was Yeshua a poor man? The wise men who visited him in his childhood didn't bring just a few baubles. They were coming to pay homage to a KING!)

The synagogue at K'far Nachum (Capernaum), built in the late 4th century C.E.

Sign says, "The Late Fourth Century A.D. 'White Synagogue' Built upon the Synagogue of Jesus." The black basalt stones are from the first century synagogue.
