Nazarene means he was from Nazereth. It does not mean he wore locks.
The confusion comes from two words: Nazarite and Nazarene. A Nazarite was an Israelite who had taken a special vow to God (Numbers 6:1-21). At the beginning and end of the vow, the Nazarite shaved his head. But during the vow his hair was left to grow long. Some Nazarites were dedicated to God for their entire life, such as Samson and John the Baptizer. Therefore their hair would have been very long.However, a Nazarene is a person from the town of Nazareth. Jesus grew up in Nazareth and was, therefore, a Nazarene (Matthew 2:23). No where is Jesus referred to as a Nazarite. In fact we know that Jesus was not a Nazarite because he drank grape juice, something a Nazarite was not allowed to have (Luke 22:17-20).
The only thing that the Bible says about Jesus’ appearance is that he was not handsome (Isaiah 53:2). There is no reason to assume Jesus had long hair. But once a false idea becomes lodged in people’s mind, it is difficult for them to let go.Comment
