When did St. Joseph live in Nazareth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We do not know. However, tradition tells us that he was considerably older than Mary when he took her as a wife. We hear nothing about him after Jesus turned 12 years old and apparently was dead before Jesus began his public ministry whe he was about 30 years old. If Joseph was about 40 years old when Jesus was born he was probably at least in his 60s when he died.

When was Mary of Nazareth born?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Bible doesn't tell us when Mary dies, but it is held that she died in her old age. The Christian church has two theories about where she dies, one of them in Ephesus, as it was where the disciple John went, and the other that she died in Jerusalem. She probably died around AD 45-50, based on early references to her from Christians.

Who killed jesus of nazareth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The idea that Christ was killed by the Romans by nailing Him to a cross is a misconception. Though He suffered much agony, Christ had the power to give up the ghost (Command it to leave His body) thereby leaving his mortal body lifeless.

Remember He said "Father it is finished, into Thy hands I commend my spirit" and He gave up the ghost. No one took His life from Him, He gave it up.

Why is nazareth so special?

Asked by Wiki User

Jesus is thought to have been brought up as a child in Nazareth. However, Nazareth does not play a role in the mission of Jesus. He found that he could not do wonders there because of the unbelief of those with whom he grew up, only heal a few sick.

Mark is the first New Testament gospel to be written, and in the original Greek it always calls Jesus 'the Nazarene', never 'Jesus of Nazareth'. We know that Matthew's Gospel was substantially based on Mark, which is is why Matthew 2:23 says that Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Nazareth "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene." Apart from Mark's Gospel, there is no other prophetic reference to Jesus as a Nazarene.

When did Jesus move to Nazareth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In Luke's Gospel, Nazareth was the home town of Mary and Joseph. They took Jesus back to Nazareth when he was just a few weeks old, after having presented him at the Temple in Jerusalem after Mary's ritual purification. Each year, the young family travelled briefly from Nazareth to Jerusalem for the Passover.

In Matthew's Gospel, Bethlehem was the home town of Mary and Joseph. When Joseph was warned in a dream that King Herod wanted to have Jesus killed, he fled with Mary and Jesus to egypt until they received word that Herod was dead. This flight to Egypt must have occurred some years before the death of Herod, since he was afraid of a threat to his own reign, and was not overly concerned about his succession. So, some years after the birth of Jesus, the family began the return journey to Bethlehem but, Joseph being again warned in a dream, they turned aside and travelled to Galilee, where they settled in a city called Nazareth.

These are two very different stories that have Jesus going to Nazareth as a tiny baby or when he was a few years old, but neither is likely to be based on historical fact.

Why was Jesus of Nazareth arrested and crufied?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Actually Jesus alone was arrested, not His disciples. They fled.

Jesus was arrested for a number of reasons. The chief religious leaders of His day both believed Him to be a false teacher and also were jealous of His popularity. The former may well partly have been a cloak for the latter, or an excuse to get rid of Him..

What was the population of Nazareth when Jesus was born?

Asked by Wiki User

Another answer from our community:

Scholars are still debating whether Nazareth existed at the beginning of the first century, or whether it was only founded in the second half of the century. If it did exist at that time, it would have been a small village with a population of a few hundred at most.

Both Matthew and Luke refer to Nazareth as a city, implying a quite sizable population. However, scholars are uncertain whether Nazareth even existed at the time of Jesus. Josephus listed all the towns he knew of in Galilee, but never mentioned Nazareth. The gospels are not entirely reliable on this point, as they were not written until some decades later, and neither Mark nor John actually refers to Nazareth as a city. The general consensus among scholars is that there was probably a small rural village there at the time. So, the population of Nazareth could have been around 100 people altogether - perhaps twenty to fifty family groups - but we can not be certain.
