Mixed Netzer: How does Jesus as a Nazarene Fulfill Scripture… The radio spot

This is an edited sermon about the meaning behind Matthew’s claim that Joseph moving to Nazareth was a fulfillment of Scripture. It explores the meaning of “fulfillment” in the New Testament, the history of the city, the nature of Matthew’s use of the prophets, the problem with spelling Nazarene in Hebrew and Greek, and the way that Nazarene was used during Jesus’ day. I think you’ll find it enlightening on a text that confuses many. Enjoy.
