Jesus of Nazareth
Abstract
This study offers a theological and linguistic analysis of Mark 6:1–6, focusing on Jesus’ rejection in Nazareth. It examines the Christological significance of the title “Jesus of Nazareth,” exploring the distinction between Nazarhnov" and NazwraiÖo" and their possible roots in the Hebrew nēṣer (“branch”) and nāzîr (“one consecrated to God”). The paper argues that what appears as a geographical designation evolves into a theological title expressing Jesus’ humility, divine mission, and the paradoxical tension between faith and unbelief. The Nazareth episode reveals the nearness of divine revelation in human form and the existential challenge of recognizing God within the ordinary.
