As I have stated earlier, Capernaum was also the home of Peter, Andrew, James and John who were fishermen living in the village. Matthew the tax collector also dwelt there. Excavations revealed one residence that stood out from the others. This house was the object of early Christian attention with 2nd century graffiti and a 4th century house church built above it. In the 5th century a large octagonal Byzantine church was erected above this, complete with a baptistery. Pilgrims referred to this as the house of the apostle Peter.
