But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter. And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
And do I not include Church every time I abuse the pilgrims and would I be likely to speak ill-naturedly of him? I wish to stir them up and make them healthy; that is all. We had left Capernaum behind us. It was only a shapeless ruin. It bore no semblance to a town, and had nothing about it to suggest that it had ever been a town.
If there had been a division among the people of Capernaum, and thousands of them had hated Christ, this man would still have stood on His side. He believed in the Lord. This is what must take place with us. Let us go forward with our trust in the living Christ, knowing that He will keep us.
And he acted with such authority! Everything he said or did proved that he knew what he was about. It was his certainty that convinced the people! An event occurred on the second day of their return to Capernaum which showed the disciples that they might soon share the fate of John the Baptizer.
He called to His side Peter and Andrew, and James and John the two pairs of brothers who were His first friends; then Philip, of Bethsaida. Bartholomen, from Cana, and Matthew, the tax-gatherer of Capernaum, who afterward wrote the first gospel.
The imprisonment of John and the withdrawal of Jesus into Galilee Matt. iv. 12-17; Mark i. 14, 15; Luke iv. 14, 15. Removal from Nazareth to Capernaum Matt. iv. 13-16; Luke iv. 31. The call of Simon and Andrew, James and John Matt. iv. 18-22; Mark i. 16-20; Luke v. 1-11. First work in Capernaum Matt. viii. 14-17; Mark i. 21-34; Luke iv. 31-41.
It seemed to Joseph as he hurried along the Plain of Gennesaret that the sun shone gayer than his wont, but as he approached Capernaum he began to think that the sun had risen a little earlier than his wont. Nobody was about!
'And a certain scribe came, and said unto Him, Master, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest. 20. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head. MATT. viii. 19-20. Our Lord was just on the point of leaving Capernaum for the other side of the lake.
He had called half that number and soon He called six more to join them, and named them apostles. Before He called them He went up into a mountain to be alone. He left Capernaum and went up through a rocky vale to a high plain where the grass lay thick and the wild flowers were coming up among it, for it was spring-time.
But when Mildred assured her that if Christ were in the city, as He had been in Capernaum, He would climb the steep, dark stairs to her attic room and say to her, "Daughter, be of good comfort" when she was told that Holy Writ declared that He was the "same yesterday, to-day, and forever" her heart became tender and contrite, and therefore ready for a Presence that is still "seeking that which was lost."
