This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

In the synagogue (ἐν συναγωγῇ)

But the definite article is wanting; so that we must either understand in a synagogue, or in an assembly. See on Jam 2:2. Among the ruins at Tell Hum, the probable site of Capernaum, have been found among the remains of a synagogue a block of stone, perhaps the lintel, carved with the pot of manna, and with a pattern of vine leaves and clusters of grapes. See a full account of these ruins in Thomson's “Land and Book, Central Palestine and Phoenicia,” pp. 417-419.
