Jesus, Not A Jew

There are so many times when the Bible could have said (but did not) “Jesus the Jew.” Or described the Disciples as Jews, but did not. The Gospel according to Saint John never once equated Jesus Christ nor the disciples with the Jews; the Jews are terminally anti-Christ in the Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Revelation.

Behold, Jesus the Galilean, Jesus of Nazareth:

“You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen.” Mark 16:6

“Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky?” Acts 1:11

Again he denied it. After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.” Mark 14:70

About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.” Luke 22:59

“ But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.” On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.” Luke 23:5-7

Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Acts 2:7

The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.” Matthew 21:11

Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. Matthew 27:55

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. Matthew 28:16

At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.” Mark 1:9

“What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” Mark 1:24

When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Mark 10:47

When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. Luke 2:39

He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, Luke 4:16

“Go away! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” Luke 4:34

They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” Luke 18:37

“What things?” he asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. Luke 24:19

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” John 1:45

“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip. John 1:46

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.). John 18:5

Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said. John 18:7

Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth, the king of the jews. John 19:19

[But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” “Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered. John 19:15]

“Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. Acts 2:22

Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Acts 3:6

then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. Acts 4:10

For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us.” Acts 6:14

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. Acts 10:38

“‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. “ ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied. Acts 22:8

“I too was convinced that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Acts 26:9
