AI summary: Chorazin matters because the Gospels remember it not for recorded miracles themselves but for the tragedy of unresponsive exposure to them. Alongside Bethsaida and Capernaum, it becomes an example of neglected grace. The cross references present Chorazin as a town of privilege turned into warning.1

Named along with Bethsaida and Capernaum as one of the cities in which our Lord’s “mighty works” were done, and which was doomed to woe because of signal privileges neglected (Matt. 11:21; Luke 10:13). It has been identified by general consent with the modern Kerazeh, about 2 1/2 miles up the Wady Kerazeh from Capernaum; i.e., Tell Hum. 3
