Chorazin
(Korazin)

Located approximately two miles from Capernaum, the northern Galilean fishing village of Chorazin saw many of Christ's "mighty works". However, due to their unbelief and lack of repentance, Chorazin would become one of three Galilean cities on which Christ would place a curse, with Bethsaida and Capernaum comprising the other two.

Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. (Matthew 11:20-22)
