The name is used in the context of a warning and a call to repentance. Cultural and Historical Background: Chorazin was a town located in the region of Galilee, near the Sea of Galilee. It was part of the Jewish heartland during the time of Jesus. The town, along with Bethsaida and Capernaum, formed a "triangle" of cities where Jesus conducted much of His ministry. Despite witnessing many miracles, the inhabitants of Chorazin did not respond with faith and repentance, leading to Jesus' rebuke.

Eusebius, onomasticon, Larsow and Parthey edition, p. 374)) two miles distant from Capernaum; perhaps the same place which in the talmud, Menach. f. 85, 1 is called כרזין (cf. Edersheim, Jesus the Messiah, ii. 139), the remains of which Robinson (Biblical Researches, iii. 347, 359f) thinks must be sought for in the ruins of the modern Tell Hum; but Wilson (Recovery of Jerusalem, American edition, pp. 270, 292ff; Our Work in Palestine, p. 188), with whom (Thomson (Land and Book, ii. 8)), Socin (in Baedeker's Palestine and Syria, English edition, p. 374), Wolff (in Riehm, p. 235) (the Conders (Handbook. to the Bible, p. 324), and the majority of recent scholars) agree, holds to the more probable opinion which identifies it with Kerazeh, a heap of ruins lying an hour's journey to the N. E. of Tell Hum: Matthew 11:21; Luke 10:13. Cf. Winers RWB under the word; Keim, i., p. 605 (English translation, ii. 367) and ii. 118 (English translation, iii. 143).
