The Nazarenes refers to either an early Jewish Christian sect in first-century Judaism or more likely a 2nd century sect or a Syrian sect from the 4th century, all of which believed in the divinity of Jesus and his virgin birth. The first use of the term is found in the Acts of the Apostles of the New Testament, where Paul the Apostle is accused of being a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes before the Roman procurator Antonius Felix at Caesarea Maritima by Tertullus. At that time, the term simply designated followers of Jesus of Nazareth, as the Hebrew term נוֹצְרִי, and the Arabic term نَصْرَانِي, still do.
