# Nazareth, Nazarene #

|
|
## Facts: ##
|
|
|
|
Nazareth is a town in the region of Galilee in northern Israel. It was about 100 kilometers north of Jerusalem, which took about three to five days to travel on foot.
|
|
|
|
* Joseph and Mary were from Nazareth, and this is where they raised Jesus. That is why Jesus was known as "the Nazarene."
|
|
* Many of the Jews living in Nazareth did not respect Jesus' teaching, because he had grown up among them and they thought he was just an ordinary person.
|
|
* Once when Jesus was teaching in the Nazareth synagogue, the Jews there tried to kill him because he claimed to be the Messiah and had rebuked them for rejecting him.
|
|
* Nathanael's remark when he heard that Jesus was from Nazareth indicates that this city was not thought of very highly.
