Strong's Lexicon Nazóraios: Nazarene Original Word: Ναζωραῖος Word Origin: Derived from Ναζαρέτ (Nazareth), a town in Galilee Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "Nazóraios" is linked to the Hebrew word נֵצֶר (netzer), meaning "branch," found in Isaiah 11:1, which is often interpreted as a Messianic prophecy. Usage: The term "Nazóraios" is used in the New Testament to refer to someone from Nazareth. It is most commonly associated with Jesus Christ, identifying Him as "Jesus of Nazareth." This designation highlights His earthly origin and fulfills prophetic expectations regarding the Messiah's humble beginnings. Cultural and Historical Background: Nazareth was a small and relatively insignificant town in Galilee during the time of Jesus. Being called a "Nazarene" carried connotations of humility and lowliness, as Nazareth was not highly esteemed in Jewish society. This term also connects to the Messianic prophecy in Isaiah 11:1, where the Hebrew word "netzer" (branch) is seen as a foreshadowing of the Messiah's humble origins.
