Nazarenes:The only use of this title for the followers of Jesus in the NT.

• Among Jewish Christians, its Hebrew form, Notsrim, was associated not only with the village of Nazareth, but also with the prophecy of Is 11:1, where the Messiah is depicted as a “branch” (Heb. netser) that sprouts from the royal stump of Jesse, the father of King David. See note on Mt 2:23.
