Nazareth the home of Jesus

Luke 1:30 (KJS) And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

This is where Jesus grew up and worked
as a carpenter. Every year he would go
to Jerusalem with Joseph & Mary for
Passover. Jesus was every bit a Jew and
kept the Jewish law given by Moses.

Luke 2:40 (KJS) And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not [of it].
44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among [their] kinsfolk and acquaintance.

the Hebrew _notserah_, i.e., one guarding or watching, thus designating the
hill which overlooks and thus guards an extensive region.
