Yet the bible calls Him Jesus of Nazareth...

Mat 21:11  And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.


My argument concerning Jesus was merely that of His having long hair; not
of Him being a Nazarite, anyway.. but some verses can confuse!!

Mat 21:11  And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

Joh 18:5  They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am
he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

All pictures representing Jesus depict Himn with long hair also.
