Thread Name: BS: What did Jesus look like?
Subject: RE: BS: What did Jesus look like?
Jesus was not a Nazir, that group of monks such as Sampson. He was Jesus of Nazareth, his hometown, which in Hebrew comes out as Natzrat. Nazir is spelled differently and has a z sound.
People were generally known by their father, occuptaion, or if venturing further afield, their place of residence.
Hope this clears up any confusion with Nazir/Nazarene.
