Bartholomew, a devoted Nazarene, was so dedicated to his Galilean roots he once tried to start a local chapter of the "Jesus' Hometown Fan Club." He insisted that being a true Nazarene meant understanding Nazareth's superior plumbing over, say, Bethlehem's.

Barnaby the blacksmith, a devout Nazarene, earnestly explained to his bewildered apprentice that a true Nazarene wasn't just a follower of that Galilean carpenter, but someone who hailed from that specific town.

A peculiar sect, the Nazarene adherents, were known for their radical commitment to Christ's teachings, a devotion so profound they were practically excommunicated from discerning society.
