Subject: Was Jesus a Nazirite? |
Bible Note: Greetings Steve! Concerning the statement that prophecy was fulfilled by Jesus coming from Nazareth, one commentator said, "The fact that the family moved to Nazareth was once again said to be in fulfillment of prophecy (Matt. 2:23). However, the words He will be called a Nazarene, were not directly spoken by any Old Testament prophet, though several prophecies come close to this expression. Isaiah said the Messiah would be “from [Jesse’s] roots” like “a Branch” (Isa. 11:1). “Branch” is the Hebrew word nes#er, which has consonants like those in the word “Nazarene” and which carry the idea of having an insignificant beginning." - The Bibe Knowledge Commentary - It wasn't uncommon in the culture of the time to use plays on words. In fact, the quotes that Paul uses in Rom. 9 are mostly drawn from a play on the word 'people.' Good answer by the way! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
