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.
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.

How far is Judah from Nazareth?
Judah was first a region (the area assigned to the tribe of Judah) and then a nation (the southern kingdom during the period of Israel's divided monarchy. Nazareth is a city in northern Israel in an area known in Roman times as the Galilees. The approximate distance from Bethlehem, a city approximately 3 miles south of Jerusalem in the ancient tribal territory of Judah, to Nazareth is about 67 lineal miles (e.g., "as the crow flies").
When did Jesus move to Nazareth?
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?
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..

John 2: 1.
What was the population of Nazareth when Jesus was born?
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.

Did the Blessed Virgin Mary live in Nazareth or Jerusalem?
Luke's Gospel gives the home of Mary and Joseph as Nazareth.

Why did Jesus not do many miracles in Nazareth?
Mark 6:4-6: "But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their unbelief ..."
The people Jesus grew up with and who knew him best did not believe that Jesus performed any real miracles, and in his home town he found he could do no great works, just heal a few sick people. We can only speculate that they might have known that Jesus had been trained to heal sick people but they felt they knew him too well to think that he had any great healing powers.

How did Joseph and Mary flee to Egypt from Nazareth if they went to Jerusalem?
Only in Matthew's Gospel. They fled to Egypt after the birth of Jesus, in fear of King Herod who sought to kill the baby Jesus. After the death of Herod, they began the return to their family home in Bethlehem, but turned aside and went to Nazareth instead.
In Luke's Gospel, they did not flee to Egypt. After the birth of Jesus, they travelled from Bethlehem to Jerusalem, with no apparent fear of Herod, then returned peacefully to their family home in Nazareth.

Who is Miriam of Nazareth and what did she do?
Miriam was the sister of Moses and Aaron, and the daughter of Amram and his wife Jochebed, both of the tribe of Levi. (Numbers 26:59; 1Chronicles 6:1-3) When Pharoah's daughter took Moses out of the Nile, and adopted him, Miriam was the one who suggested 'finding' a Hebrew woman to nurse the child for her. Pharoah's daughter agreed and '"the maiden went and called the child's mother" (Jochebed), who then cared for Moses until he grew up.-Exodus 2:5-10.
Later, after the exodus from Egypt, in the wilderness, Miriam was considered a prophetess(Exodus 15:20&21), and so a woman of prominence, who set an example for God's people. Because of this, she was severely disciplined when she jealously spoke out against Moses, God's hand-picked servant, and was stricken with leprosy for her disloyalty and rebellion. (Numbers 12:1-15)(Deuteronomy 24:8, 9).
