Chorazin was a village in northern Galilee, 2.5 miles from Capernaum on a hill above the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee. Chorazin, along with Bethsaida and Capernaum were named in the gospels of Matthew and Luke as cities in which Jesus performed mighty works. However, because these towns rejected his work, "they had not changed their ways" they were subsequently cursed by Jesus (Matthew 11:20-24; Luke 10:13-15). The gospels make no other mention of Chorazin or what works had occurred there.
