How do we know Jesus is the Nazarene?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called the Nazarene, fulfilling Old Testament prophecy, as He exemplifies the dedicated life outlined in the Nazarite vow.

Jesus is identified as the Nazarene, not only through the events of His life but also through prophecy. Matthew 2:23 informs us that Jesus lived in Nazareth to fulfill what was spoken by the prophets. This alludes to the Nazarite vow, which speaks of separation and dedication to God. While the term 'Nazarene' is explicit in the New Testament, the essence of what it means—complete devotion—has its roots deeply intertwined with the Jewish tradition and the Old Testament's teachings about God's servants, culminating in Christ’s perfect representation.
