1 | "He shall be called a Nazarene."? | Matt 2:23 | newoldstock | 95216 | ||
I am doing a detailed bible study of Matthew and can not find a reference in the Old Testament for "He shall be called a Nazarene." The Amplified I notice says the ref. is Isa. 11:1 Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,And a branch from his roots will bear fruit. I don't see how it can be the proper reference. I can't see how I could pull "He shall ge called a Nazanene" from Isa. 11:1. Do you know of any other reference? | ||||||

a. The phrase He shall be called a Nazarene is not a Biblically recorded prophecy, but probably just a well known rabbinic prophecy or interpretation b. Since to be a Nazarene was a special mark of holiness, it seemed natural that the Messiah would be a Nazarene; but Matthew shows how this was true in a different way - He was from the city of Nazareth, though not a Nazarene through a vow c. Remember that Nazareth was a city that did not have a particularly good reputation (John 1:46); yet the Father did not feel it necessary to have Jesus come from a "good" city www.blueletterbible.org refrence |

I can't believe that this string is resurected after all this time! I'm baaaaaack. Yes, there is a big difference between Nazarite and Nazarene and this verse still perplexes me, but I know that my Lord Jesus is in control and not old Jim so some day He will clear it up for me. Amen. | ||||||
