Bible Question: What is Nazareth known for? This is regards to John 1:46 when Nathanael said "Can anything good come from there?" |
Bible Answer: Greetings romans: you have quoted John 1:46 the words of Nathanael "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" I believe in the context we find that Philip has told him in v.45 "we have found him" (the Christ) and mentions that he is from Nazareth. I believe that Nathaneal's reply is not so much the problem with the actual city of Nazareth, but with the prophecy concerning the coming Christ Micah 5:2 who would come out of Bethlehem. The same thought is found in John 7:41-42 "Shall Christ come out of Galilee?" (Nazareth was in Galilee.) I have not found anything to support the idea that Nazareth was a dispised city in any way. Thus I believe Nathaneal has Christ in mind and the prophecies of his coming and is referring to him as the "good". Just a few thoughts Peace in his name Robert |
