Matthew 2 says dwelt in a city called Nazareth. Matthew 4 says Jesus left Nazareth and came to dwelt at Capernaum.
Mark 1 says Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee (verse 9), and Jesus of Nazareth (verse 24).
Luke 1 says Gabriel sent to a city whose name was Nazareth. Luke 2 says Joseph went up out from/of the town Nazareth (verse 4), and they later returned to the town of Nazareth (verse 39), and they came to Nazareth (verse 51). Luke 4:16 says Jesus came to Nazareth where he had been brought up.
John 1 says Jesus of Nazareth, and out of Nazareth.
That is testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses that there was a city or town being called Nazareth, unless the English translation is wrong. (Though some claim that 2 or 3 gospels were based on 1 earliest one.) Opinion/evidence is divided on whether the conventional Nazareth (Notsrat/Natseret/Natzeret/Natzaret) was or was not a town or village at the time of Christ. If it was not then an alternative possible candidate is Nabratein, or Nasor (En Hazor / Kh. Hazireh, 1 Maccabees 11:67), or Zaretan, or Kadesh Naphtali, or Gennesaret, or Zefat/Safed, or Bet Netofa, or Exaloth/Chesulloth (near Nazareth), or Anaharath, or Narbata, or Sinnen Nabra (Sennabris?), or Jezreel? Arsareth in 2 Esdras 13 is similar.
Some relate Nazarene/Nazareth to natsar "watch/guard/keep" which could be fit for Jesus, it could also fit Safed "lookout" and Nabratein.
The gospel says there was an Old Testament prophecy that Jesus would be a Nazarene, but it is said that this prophecy is not known/found in the Old Testament, though some of the prophets (Isaiah) did refer to the messiah as a notzri/netser "sprout/shoot/branch". Jesus was called the sprout/shoot of Jesse and branch of David.
The Talmud mentions one Yeishu ha-Notzri (notsri/ntsr/nezer/netzer/netser "shoot/sprout/branch") in ca 100 bc in Maccabean times who might be Yeshua/Jesus of Nazareth, though some scholars say Yeishu may not be Jesus.
The Nazarene prophecy has been suggested to be the verse in Judges about Samson being a Nazarite/Nazirite (natzir/nazir "consecrated/devoted"), but experts in Hebrew say that Nazarene or notzri and Nazarite have different "z" letters in the Hebrew alphabetic script (tzadhe and tzayin)?
"There is no evidence that Jesus was a Nazarite or took the Nazarite vow." "Nazarites didn't drink wine but Jesus did." Though Jesus is often supposed to have had long hair.
There was a sect of Jews or Jewish Christians called the Notsarim/Notsrim or Nazoraioi/Nazoreans/Nazarenes and a sect called the Nozrei ha-Brit "Keepers of the Convenant" in the times of Jesus, but some say these were separate to Jesus and the messianic/christian sect.
A source says Christians were called Nazorenes (Nazarenes?) The Mandeans/Sabians/Subbis were also called Nasoraje/Nasoreans.
There was also a sect called the Naassenes, but their name is suposed to be from different root word related to Nahash "serpent" in Genesis.
Some relate Nazarene/Nazareth to najjar "carpenter/builder/mason/architect" or "holyman/adept/initiate" (compare tekton).
One source claims Nazareen "a member of a mystic group schooled for 9 years in Alexandria".
Nzr is "ruler" in Genesis 49:26.
The Gospel of Philip claims the word Nazar/Nazarene means "the truth" or "he who reveals what is hidden".
There is Mt Nisir/Nimush in Sumerian/Akkadian where the Ark landed at end of the Flood/Deluge.
An-sir/As-sir is "lord + serpent" in Sumerian.
Neter is "god" or an adze in Egyptian.
Nasr is a bird (an eagle or vulture?) god in Arabian, maybe related to Nisroch?
The Arabic name Nasir/Nazir (as used in Robin of Sherwood) means "helper" or "one who gives victory" (note Nazareth is similar to Lazarus/Eleazar with an n/l interchange or prefix?) The Arabic title nazir refers to an overseer. There are also the later Nusayri (Alawites), and Nizari/Nizar(i) (Assassins/Ismailis/Shiites).
Also maybe similar are Nestorius/Nestorian, or St Gregory of Nazianzen/Nazianzus?
Possibly similar names/words are:
Netzah "eternity, perpetuity, victory, endurance" is one of the lower Sepphiroth in the Cabalistic tree.
Nasi "prince, president" is a Jewish title.
Nephthar means "purification.

These simple pointers show that Nazareth was not in the earliest Jesus traditions. (Whereas Capernaum is found in Q and in the Marcan descendents' parallels with their source.) Jesus of Nazareth wasn't a thing early on.
2. Every single exemplar of Nazareth, Nazara, Nazarene & Nazorean in the text of Nestle-Aland features a zeta and not a sigma. Yet the TSADE is almost exclusively transliterated into Greek as a sigma. (FC Burkitt showed the repertoire of TSADE to zeta was so tiny across so many texts, that he found the data inexplicable. It's amusing that scholars indirectly cite from Burkitt's repertoire—probably through Schaeder's Nazareth article in Kittel—to show that the irregular transliteration is feasible, apparently unaware of Burkitt's conclusion.) With so many different forms permitting so many opportunities to transliterate a Semitic source with the sigma they are never capitalized on, so we must conclude that all conjectures about NUN-TSADE-RESH etymologies are futile, despite their popularity. These terms didn't come from such a source, notwithstanding the existence of a town called NUN-TSADE-RESH-TAU (נצרת). We must conclude that the zeta reflects the source of the tradition.
Strong, rather than incontrovertible: Luke doesn't feature Nazareth outside the birth narrative—considered by many scholars to be a later addition to Lk—, though Nazara is found in 4:16. Mt only has one reference to Nazareth (21:11), not in the "Matthean material", but in a reworked verse from Mk (suggesting a later interpolation, though later redaction will suffice here). Mt 4:13 has Nazara, as does the earliest exemplar of Mt 2:23 (P.70VID). Scholars speculate that Nazara was derived from the Aramaic form of the town name though there is no scrap of direct evidence to support the assertion and of course there's the zeta. From the evidence we are left with the fact that Nazara circulated in Jesus associations (θιασοι/εκκλησιαι) and entered the tradition before Nazareth.
From #1 above I agree with the o.p. Nazareth in Mk 1:9, not supported by its close Mt parallel 3:13 is a strong candidate for a later addition, ie once Nazareth had entered the Jesus tradition.

The last sentence really says it all, and that's what there's to it - even though "Jesus associations (θιασοι/εκκλησιαι)" is really pushing it - there was a story and it got added to, and presuming religious guilds or congregations / churches is feeding circular reasoning
Re: Some incontrovertible facts about Nazareth
You keep frowning. But do try to understand the chronological significance that was indicated. The shared material between Mt & Lk indicates a commonality between those works. Either Q existed & came before both or one copied from the other, but there is a relationship between the two and it involves a priority in time. There is no prior for Nazareth within the gospels. Of the chronological indicators Nazareth comes in latest.
I avoid the word "church" regarding Paul's writings because it assumes all those Christian notions we tend to retroject.mlinssen wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 12:19 pmThe last sentence really says it all, and that's what there's to it - even though "Jesus associations (θιασοι/εκκλησιαι)" is really pushing it - there was a story and it got added to, and presuming religious guilds or congregations / churches is feeding circular reasoning
Paul's groups fit the category of a major type of association of the era. They brought together people voluntarily from different classes of society for the purpose of common belief; they shared resources, as well as a ritual meal. Not to think of them as associations is to ignore the cultural phenomena of the era and leave the groups somehow unique and without precedent. Josephus, AJ 14:215-216, tells us that diaspora Jewish associations alone were permitted by law (circa 44 BCE). He even uses the term θιασους along with mention of the collection of moneys and common meals. This is the cultural context that Paul inherited, deny that as you may. Philo's evidence would also be quite useful here as he talks of εκκλησιαι in terms that evoke the notion of the θιασος, but after the effort to refind the citation for Josephus's θιασοι, I don't have the energy.

Philo - {**Yonge's title, A Treatise on the Principle that the Worse is Accustomed to be Always Plotting Against the Better.}
(63) And it has not fallen to the lot of all the suppliants to become guardians of the holy things, but to those only who have arrived at the number fifty, which proclaims remission of offences and perfect liberty and a return to their ancient possessions. "For this," says the Scripture, "is the law concerning the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upwards, they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more; but shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall keep what is to be kept, and shall do no Service."{24}{#nu 8:24.}
If you can give me the English words for these two Greek ones, it'll only take me a minute. I have 45 books of Philo, should give a fairly complete result
Re: Some incontrovertible facts about Nazareth
I just got tired after having what I thought was necessary to find the thiasos reference in Josephus and I kept coming up with nothing. If I recall the only reference to thiasos in Philo is rather scathing, but then he talks about ekkhsiai, synagwgoi and other terms which all can be perceived similarly as organised cultural gatherings.mlinssen wrote: ↑Tue Feb 01, 2022 3:48 amPhilo - {**Yonge's title, A Treatise on the Principle that the Worse is Accustomed to be Always Plotting Against the Better.}

Re: Back to the Nazareth Issue
Would someone only reading the Septuagint be able to distinguish between the different Hebrew sibilants?
Re: Back to the Nazareth Issue
The only people who needed to distinguish Hebrew sibilants were the translators and they did it a hellovalot, rendering them quite consistently, so that readers didn't have to.schillingklaus wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 12:30 am Would someone only reading the Septuagint be able to distinguish between the different Hebrew sibilants?
An interesting "exception" was the non-Hebrew town name in Hebrew TSADE-AYIN-RESH (צער). Some seemed to have transliterated it based on the Hebrew letters as Soara, similarly southern Palestinian pronunciation gave Segora (/g/ substituting the AYIN), but others with external knowledge used Zoara or just Zoar. This is the only example in the LXX of a word with TSADE with plural exemplars, a non-Hebrew name with mixed transliterations.

Re: Back to the Nazareth Issue
Anyone know of any scholars arguing that Mark 1.9 was also an interpolation? I know of Rene Salm, Frank Zindler, and Robert Price so far.
