Places
Nazareth in John 1
NAZ-uh-reth
This place shows up in John 1:45: “Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
John 1:45
“Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.””
