Christians

===Nazarenes===
Another [[List of Christian synonyms|term for Christians]] which appears in the New Testament is "[[Nazarene (title)|Nazarenes]]". [[Jesus]] is named as a Nazarene in [[Matthew 2:23]], while [[Paul the Apostle|Paul]] is said to be Nazarene in [[Acts 24:5]]. The latter verse makes it clear that Nazarene also referred to the name of a sect or heresy, as well as the town called Nazareth.{{citation needed|date=October 2019}}

The term Nazarene was also used by the Jewish lawyer [[Tertullus]] (''Against Marcion'' 4:8) which records that "the Jews call us Nazarenes." While around 331 AD [[Eusebius]] records that Christ was called a Nazoraean from the name [[Nazareth]], and that in earlier centuries "Christians" were once called "Nazarenes".<ref>''Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies'': Volume 65, Issue 1 University of London. School of Oriental and African Studies – 2002 "around 331, Eusebius says of the place name [[Nazareth]] that 'from this name the Christ was called a Nazoraean, and in ancient times we, who are now called Christians, were once called [[Nazarene (title)|Nazarenes]]';6 thus he attributes this designation"</ref> The Hebrew equivalent of "Nazarenes", ''Notzrim'', occurs in the [[Babylonian Talmud]], and is still the modern Israeli Hebrew term for Christian.
