After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
All Commentaries on John 2:12 Go To John 2
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Our Lord being about shortly to go up to Jerusalem, proceeded to Capernaum, that He might not take His mother and brethren every where about with Him: After this he went down to Capernaum, He, and His mother, and His brethren, and His disciples, and they continued there not many days.
He did not perform any miracle at Capernaum, the inhabitants of which city were in a very corrupt state, and not well disposed to Him; He went there however, and stayed some time out of respect to His mother.
