I thought there was no place called "Nazareth" in Jesus' time. I don't think "Nazareth" was a community until hundreds of years later. I always thought that "Jesus of Nazareth" was sort of a mis-translation of "Jesus the Nazarene" which meant something like "Jesus the Peaceful" or something like that?
