He Shall Be Called a Nazarene (Revisited)

Matthew 2:23 says Jesus fulfilled what was 'spoken through the prophets: He shall be called a Nazarene.' But where is this prophecy in the Old Testament? Many Christians search without finding it. The answer reveals Matthew's intentional use of 'prophets' (plural) rather than 'prophet' (singular)—he's not quoting one verse, but summarizing how Jesus' life circumstances fulfilled multiple Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah's geographical movements through Bethlehem, Egypt, and ultimately Nazareth.
