What does nazareth have to do with Jesus?
Most likely nothing. Nazareth did not exist as a geographical term in the time the legend says Jesus was alive. Furthermore, there is no independent record that Jesus ever existed (none of the contemporary historians even mention his name).
Nazareth appears in the bible most likely because of the bad translation of Nazarene (a known religious sect in Judea at the time).
Why was the historical Jesus of Nazareth killed?
Jesus of Nazareth was set-up to executed by the Jewish Pharisees for being the true Messiah and the Son of God. The corrupt Pharisees, were jealous of His goodness and truth and fearful that He would break-up their power monopoly over the people of Jerusalem. The apostle and trusted friend of Jesus, Judas, betrayed him for 30 pieces of silver that were given to him by the corrupt Pharisees. Judas later hung himself and is in Hell for eternity, along with the Pharisees. Jerusalem and the Jewsih Temple were sacked in 70 AD by the Roman general, Titus who was fed-up with the troublesome Jews. The Jews have been in the Dispora ever since.
Why were the people of Nazareth looked down upon?
The people of Galilee, which includes Nazareth, were not considered real Jews by the people of Judea, because they had only been forcibly converted to Judaism a little over a hundred years before the time of Christ.
Is the Blessed Virgin Mary from Bethlehem or Nazareth?
-----------------------
Luke's Gospel gives the home of Mary and Joseph as Nazareth.
Matthew's Gospel suggests that their home was in Bethlehem before the flight to Egypt, but after their return to Judea, they turned aside and moved to Nazareth, out of the fear of King Herod's son.
In a direct line, it is 104 kilometres (65 miles) from Nazareth to Jerusalem, although any land journey across the mountainous terrain of Samaria and northern Judah must be somewhat longer. However, in the first century, it would have been dangerous for a Jew to traverse Samaria. Jews would have taken a much longer route across the River Jordan and through the Decapolis.
In Luke's Gospel, Joseph and Mary would have taken the longer route across the River Jordan for their own safety, both on the way south and then back.
In Matthew's Gospel, the young family had never been to Nazareth prior to the return from Jerusalem. They probably did not go to Jerusalem, which would still have been dangerous for them, but most likely crossed the Jordan somewhere to the south and then followed the route east of the river until they reached the Decapolis ( Matthew 2:22-23: "he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth...")
Who was Jesus of Nazareth and what did he freely offer?
He is the Son of God. He freely offered his life to save us from sin.
If people from Jamaica are called Jamaicans what are people from Nazareth called?
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).
Who is melchior the story of Jesus of nazareth?
Melchior, along with Caspar and Balthazar, were the names given to the three wise men who visited the baby Jesus bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. However, these names were later fictional inventions and have no historical or scriptural basis whatsoever. The Bible does not even tell us now many wise men there were (only that they brought three gifts) let alone give us their names.
