Nazareth

Michael on the brow of the hill.

Nazareth is behind, some distance behind, where the people are sitting. We know this hill is an A site. Here's the scriptural account.

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


What he read was Isaiah  61:1, 2, which prophesies of the coming Messiah. When he finished reading, he sat down.

Luke 4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

They were stunned. They did not like his declaration, and they didn't like anything he said afterward. They knew him, the carpenter's son, knew his sisters, his brothers. How did he dare to say such things?

Luke 4:28-30 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath. And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. But he passing through the midst of them went his way.

There is nothing in the scriptures to indicate that Jesus ever went back to Nazareth.
