John 6:42 - Capernaum people knew Jesus of Nazareth

[Steven Avery]

John 6:24 (AV)
When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there,
neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and
came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

John 6:42 (AV)
And they said, Is not this Jesus,
the son of Joseph,
whose father and mother we know?
how is it then that he saith,
I came down from heaven?

=======================================

John 2:12 (AV)
After this he went down to Capernaum,
he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples:
and they continued there not many days.

Matthew Poole's Commentary
For Capernaum, where our Saviour now was, was not far from Nazareth, where he had been educated, and lived near thirty years with Joseph his reputed father.

John Gill
for Capernaum and Nazareth were not at a great distance from each other;

Jesus' boyhood home of Nazareth was probably just to the southwest of the Sea of Galilee
