They are two different ways of saying the same thing. In the modern world, it would be like referring to "the Queen of Britain" vs. "the British Queen." Nazareth was a city, or an inhabitant of the city of Nazareth. Nazarene was a sect of people who sacraficed something in submission to God. There were Nazarenes for life, such as Samson, and Nazarenes for days. There is speculation as to whether John the Baptist and Jesus were Nazarenes for life, or for days. Nazarenes could be set aside by their own vows, or could be set aside from birth by their parents. Common to Nazarenes was abstinence from wine, strong drink, or anything of the vine, and not cutting the hair of their head.

Jesus Christ was also known as Jesus from Nazareth.

(Mark 1:9)  In the course of those days, Jesus came from Nazʹa·reth of Galʹi·lee and was baptized in the Jordan by John.

(Luke 1:26, 27) 26 In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27 to a virgin promised in marriage to a man named Joseph of David's house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.

(Matthew 2:19-23) 19 When Herod had died, look! Jehovah's angel appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said: "Get up, take the young child and his mother and go into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the young child are dead." 21 So he got up and took the young child and the child's mother and entered into the land of Israel. 22 But hearing that Ar·che·laʹus ruled Ju·deʹa instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Moreover, being given divine warning in a dream, he withdrew into the territory of Galʹi·lee. 23 And he came and settled in a city named Nazʹa·reth, in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets: "He will be called a Naz·a·reneʹ."

Grammatically, 'Nazarene' would not be a usual way of referring to someone as coming from Nazareth, but ever since Matthew's Gospel made this connection (Matthew 2:23), it has been accepted that the term 'Nazarene' had that meaning. The term 'Nazarene' should not be confused with the 'Nazarites', pious Jews who shaved their hair and abstained from alcohol.

The earliest New Testament gospel to be written was Mark's Gospel, which (in the original Greek language) only refers to Jesus as a Nazarene and never mentions Nazareth as his home town. These references are typically translated into English as 'Jesus of Nazareth', but this does not reflect the original manuscripts.


Matthew's Gospel was apparently written in the 80s of the first century, and was substantially based on Mark's Gospel. Its author chose to identify Jesus with Nazareth, so that Matthew 2:23 says, "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene." Here, his 'prophets' appears to be a reference to Mark's Gospel.
