Jesus has gone to Capernaum, no doubt led by His Father for He only does what He sees His heavenly Father doing as you can read in John 5:19

Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by Himself. He can only do what He sees the Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does."

You can find the reason for His going to Capernaum in Luke 7:1-3

When Jesus had finished saying all this in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum. There a Centurion's servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. The Centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him to come and heal his servant.

At Jesus' arrival in Capernaum He is visited by some Jewish men, friends of a Roman Centurion.
