Scripture: Luke 2:39–40; Mark 6:1–3; John 1:46
Jesus grows up in Nazareth, an obscure village in Galilee.
Some skeptics argued that Nazareth did not exist in the 1st century. In 2009 Yardenna Alexandre excavated a modest 1st-century house there. Ken Dark's work under the Sisters of Nazareth convent documented another early house and rock-cut tombs. A 3rd–4th century inscription from Caesarea lists Nazareth as a home of a priestly family.
