Nazarene (title)
Nazarene is a title applied to Jesus, who, according to the New Testament, grew up in Nazareth, a town in Galilee, now in northern Israel. The word is used to translate two related terms that appear in the Greek New Testament: Nazarēnos (Nazarene) and Nazōraios (Nazorean). The phrases traditionally rendered as ""Jesus of Nazareth"" can also be translated as ""Jesus the Nazarene"" or ""Jesus the Nazorean"", and the title ""Nazarene"" may have a religious significance instead of denoting a place of origin. Both Nazarene and Nazorean are irregular in Greek and the additional vowel in Nazorean complicates any derivation from Nazareth.The Gospel of Matthew explains that the title Nazarene is derived from the prophecy ""He will be called a Nazorean"", but this has no obvious Old Testament source. Some scholars argue that it refers to a passage in the Book of Isaiah, with ""Nazarene"" a Greek reading of the Hebrew ne·tser (branch), understood as a messianic title. Others point to a passage in the Book of Judges which refers to Samson as a Nazirite, a word that is just one letter off from Nazarene in Greek.The Greek New Testament uses ""Nazarene"" six times (Mark, Luke), while ""Nazorean"" is used 13 times (Matthew, Mark in some manuscripts, Luke, John, Acts). In the Book of Acts, ""Nazorean"" is used to refer to a follower of Jesus, i.e. a Christian, rather than an inhabitant of a town. ""Notzrim"" is the modern Hebrew word for Christians (No·tsri, נוֹצְרִי) and one of two words commonly used to mean ""Christian"" in Syriac (Nasrani) and Arabic (Naṣrānī, نصراني).
