  2. Explication du texte

Why did Christ choose not to live in his hometown of Nazareth?

Matthieu 4:13 (NEG79)

13 Il quitta Nazareth, et vint demeurer à Capernaüm, située près de la mer, dans le territoire de Zabulon et de Nephthali,

Christ wants to make his work known (Acts 26:26). Everyone needs to know the gospel of the kingdom! That is how great Christ’s love for people is. Capernaum was a city. This was a better place to reach the people. Nazareth was a despised and small town, and therefor it was difficult to reach the people from there (see John 1:46).
