Location
1. Chorazin (Korazim) is located about 2 miles (3 Km.) north of the Sea of Galilee.
2. From Chorazin, you can see the Sea of Galilee, Bethsaida, and some of Capernaum.
3. It’s located a little off the beaten path.
4. It was built out of black basalt stone which was common in the Galilee area.
5. The construction of the homes in Chorazin are quite well preserved and show how the home where Jesus lived in Capernaum might have looked.
6. The walls of the homes consisted of stone, and the roofs were of either mud bricks, or branches and leaves.
7. This area is very dry, and the water supply was essential for sustaining life in this town. A spring is located on the north-east side of the town which was the source of the city's water in addition to the cisterns under the houses.
8. In the time of Jesus, Chorazin was about 25 acres (10 hectares) in size and had an estimated population of around 500–1,000.

Historical Background
1. Chorazin was one of the three towns (Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum), which made up what scholars call “The Evangelical Triangle.”
2. Jesus set up His home ministry base in Capernaum which was close-by to Chorazin.
3. Jesus spent around 50-70% of His ministry time around the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee so those in Chorazin would have repeatedly heard and seen all Jesus did.
4. A Tree with the kind of thorns that would have been used for the crown of thorns Jesus wore at His crucifixion can be found here.
