Bible Question (short): "He shall be called a Nazarene."? |
Question (full): 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? |
