"Was Jesus a Nazarite?  According to  Isaiah 28:9-13 and John 7:17"


 

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  Numbers 6:1

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:  Numbers 6:2

He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.  Numbers 6:3

All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.  Numbers 6:4

But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.  Judges 13:7

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.  Matthew 11:18

The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.  Matthew 11:19

For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.  Luke 7:33

The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!  Luke 7:34

And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:  Numbers 6:13

And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,  Numbers 6:14

And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:  Numbers 6:16

And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.  Numbers 6:18

And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven:  Numbers 6:19

And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.  Numbers 6:20

Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.  Mark 14:25

And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.  Mark 14:23

 

 

All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.  Numbers 6:6

He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.  Numbers 6:7

He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.  Matthew 9:24

But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.  Matthew 9:25

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.  Luke 8:53

And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.  Luke 8:54

 

All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.  Numbers 6:5

All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.  Numbers 6:8

For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.  Judges 13:5

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.  Luke 24:27

My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.  Song of Solomon 5:10

His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.  Song of Solomon 5:11

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?  1 Corinthians 11:14

 

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,  Matthew 2:1

And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.  Matthew 2:13

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,  Matthew 2:19

Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.  Matthew 2:20

And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.  Matthew 2:21

But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:  Matthew 2:22

And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.  Matthew 2:23

 

They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.  John 7:52

 

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.  1 John 3:1

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.  1 John 3:2

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.  1 John 3:3

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.  1 John 3:5

 

And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.  1 Kings 22:14

And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.  2 Chronicles 18:13

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.  Isaiah 8:20

 

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.  Philippians 3:1

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.  1 Peter 4:11
