Luke 1:1 4: an orderly account

Jesus grew up in a little town called Nazareth, a small agricultural village of about four hundred people—so insignificant that no written records of it exist prior to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.[1] Located in Galilee, the northern region of Israel, Nazareth was home to those often regarded as culturally backward, little more than country bumpkins. So when Nathanael asked, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” (John 1:46), he gave voice to what many were likely thinking.
