Here is a shot of Nazareth. This is where Jesus grew up and at that time it was a village of about 400 people. Today, Nazareth is an Arab community of about 65,000. There is a Jewish community neighboring it (Upper Nazlation in Jesusareth) numbering 35,000. Oh how times have changed. It is up here in the hills and being such a small population in Roman times it was truly a "nowhere" place to be brought up. Little wonder that Nathaniel reacted as he did in John's Gospel when he said remarked to the other disciples, "Can anything good come from Nazareth?!?!"
