📚 Historical Context
This verse follows immediately after Jesus performed his first miracle at the wedding in Cana, where he turned water into wine, marking the beginning of his public ministry. Jesus then travels with his mother, brothers, and disciples to Capernaum, a thriving fishing village on the Sea of Galilee that became a key base for his teaching and miracles in the region. They stayed only a short time, as this was a transitional period before Jesus moved on to larger events like the Passover in Jerusalem.
