Is Jesus a Nazarite?
There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Hebrew word translated Branch sounds like “Nazir” (neser). So, Jesus was certainly a Nazarene – from Nazareth, and associated with a lowly and even despised place. But He was not a Nazirite.
