“And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.”
As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew — the domestic setting follows the synagogue setting immediately: the kingdom arrives in the house as well as the public gathering. The four named disciples are present — this is the inner circle in its first scene together, and they go to Simon and Andrew's home. The Capernaum house that serves as Jesus' base of operations throughout the Galilean ministry begins here as the destination after the first synagogue appearance. The movement from synagogue to house is the movement from public proclamation to private ministry — both spaces belong to the kingdom's work.
