The expected answer is 'Nazarenes', but it is far from certain that a person who was called a Nazarene would have come from Nazareth. Acts 24:5 has Tertullus refer to Paul as a pestilent fellow and a leader of the sect of Nazoreans ( Ναζωραίων). From this we can assume that certainly by the time Acts was written, there was a sect known as the Nazoreans and that members of this sect regarded themselves as Christians. The spelling is different, as often occurs in The Bible, but as Markmentions Nazarenes but not a sect of Nazoreans, it is possible that there was no real difference between the two. There are even suggestions that the sect of Nazarenes existed before the time of Jesus.
Matthew's Gospel is at pains to say that Jesus would be called a Nazarene because he came from Nazareth, but this is likely in response to Mark's Gospel, where Jesus is never referred to, in the original Greek language, as 'Jesus of Nazareth' but repeatedly as 'Jesus the Nazarene' (Ναζαρηνοῦ).
