CHORAZIN: (Matt. 11:21).

Town is located near the Sea of Galilee about 2 miles north of Capernaum and was denounced by Jesus (Lk 10:13) Little else is known of the town.

Named along with Bethsaida and Capernaum as one of the cities in which our Lord's "mighty works" were done, and which was doomed to woe because of signal privileges neglected (Matt. 11:21; Luke 10:13). It has been identified by general consent with the modern Kerazeh, about 2 1/2 miles up the Wady Kerazeh from Capernaum; i.e., Tell Hum.
