Nazareth -- the Galilean town where Jesus was raised, also spelled Nazara
Nazareth (Nazareth/Nazara) is the small town in lower Galilee where Mary and Joseph lived and where Jesus grew up. Despite its obscurity -- Nathanael's dismissive 'Can anything good come from Nazareth?' (John 1:46) captures its reputation -- it became one of the most recognized place names in history. The New Testament manuscripts preserve multiple spellings (Nazareth, Nazaret, Nazara), reflecting Semitic-to-Greek transliteration variation rather than different locations. Luke places the Annunciation there (1:26), and Matthew identifies it as the fulfillment of a prophetic word: 'He shall be called a Nazarene' (2:23). Every target language retains the name with only minor phonological adaptation.

1. Nazareth, Nazara (place name) — The town in lower Galilee where Jesus was raised, variously spelled Nazareth and Nazara in the manuscripts. All twelve occurrences designate the same location, from the Annunciation (Luke 1:26) to Jesus' departure for ministry (Mark 1:9). Spanish Nazaret, French and German Nazareth confirm a single toponym. 12×
