Matthew 21:11, “...This is יהושע, the prophet from Natsareth of Galil.” Yet the is not a Scripture foretelling a prophet or the Messiah coming from Galil John 7:53, “...Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galil.” And each one went to his own house.” Then why did Matt write this; Mat 2:23, “...that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.” Did they miss something in the Scriptures? Why would He be called a Nazerene? The city of Nazareth is not even mentioned it the OT Scriptures a single time. Let us take a deeper look.

John (Yahanan) 15:4-6, “Abide in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot produce fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
