Note 6 — Chapter XV · THE METHOD OF M. LOISY

It should be remembered that the Gospels do not specify Nazareth, but speak simply of “his own country” (πατρίς). Professor Burkitt, recognizing the mass of difficulties in regard to Nazareth, suggests that that name is a “literary error,” and that the πατρίς of Jesus was Chorazin (Proc. of Brit. Acad. vol. v, 1912, pp. 17–18). ↑
