Yes, in the first century AD, Galilee was largely a mixed region with a significant population of Gentiles alongside Jews. While it was predominantly Jewish, especially in towns like Nazareth and Capernaum, there were many Gentile cities and communities, particularly in the eastern parts near the Sea of Galilee. This diversity influenced the cultural and religious dynamics of the area, making it a significant backdrop for the ministry of Jesus.

Is Nazareth in the land of the Hebrews?

Nazareth is a town in Galilee, variously believed to have been founded in the first century BCE or the first century CE. National borders change from time to time, but Galilee was, for the most part, outside the territory of ancient Israel, the ancient land of the Hebrew people. Judah invaded Galilee in the second century BCE and forcibly converted the small local population to Judaism, but in the time of Jesus the larger towns appear to have been populated by gentiles. From the first century, especially after 70 CE and the end of the First Roman-Jewish War, Galilee became an important centre of Jewish population.
