Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from Ναζαρά (Nazara), referring to Nazareth, a town in Galilee.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H5139 נָזִיר (nazir): Often translated as "Nazirite," referring to one who is consecrated or set apart, which shares a conceptual link with the idea of being set apart or distinct, as Jesus was in His mission and life.
• H5341 נָצַר (natsar): Meaning "to watch, guard, keep," which can be related to the idea of being preserved or set apart, similar to the consecration implied in the term Ναζωραῖος. Usage: The term Ναζωραῖος is used in the New Testament to refer to Jesus Christ as a resident of Nazareth, and by extension, to His followers. It is often translated as "Nazarene." Context: • Context and Significance: The term Ναζωραῖος is primarily used to identify Jesus with the town of Nazareth, fulfilling the prophecy that He would be called a Nazarene (Matthew 2:23). This designation highlights His humble origins and fulfills the messianic expectations of the Old Testament. The term is also used by others to identify Jesus, sometimes with a tone of derision, as seen in John 1:46, where Nathanael questions, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?"
• Occurrences in the New Testament:
• Matthew 2:23: "So He went and lived in a town called Nazareth. Thus was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophets: 'He will be called a Nazarene.'"
• Mark 1:24: "What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!"
• Luke 4:34: "Ha! What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!"
• John 18:5: "Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. Jesus said, "I am He." And Judas, His betrayer, was standing there with them.
• Acts 2:22: "Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know."
• Theological Implications: The use of Ναζωραῖος underscores the fulfillment of prophecy and the humble beginnings of Jesus, emphasizing His role as the Messiah who identifies with the lowly and the outcast. It also serves as a reminder of the rejection He faced, as Nazareth was not a place of high repute.
