At Thirza, the towers of the prison in which the captives delivered by Jesus had been confined fell down.

In Galilee, where Jesus had travelled so much, I saw many buildings, and in particular the houses of those Pharisees who had been the foremost in persecuting our Saviour, and who were then all at the festival, shaken to the ground, crushing their wives and children.

Numerous accidents happened in the neighbourhood of the Lake of Genazareth.

Many buildings fell down at Capharnaum; and the wall of rocks which was in front of the beautiful garden of the centurion Zorobabel cracked across.

The lake overflowed into the valley, and its waters descended as far as Capharnaum, which was a mile and a half distant.
