→"Jesus himself may have been from Samaria"
I see a lot of verses saying he was from the city of Nazareth, in Galilee. Luke even goes so far as to note the small discrepancy of him staying in Jerusalem when his parents left, causing them to go back and look for him. I don't see any mentions of him being from Samaria. Where does this seeming discrepancy come from? --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 01:56, June 3, 2022 (EDT)

The Samaritans actually were an Israelite people descended from the original 12 tribes to whom the land was promised, unlike the Philistines (Palestinians) who are not descended from Jacob.

The difference being, the Samaritans were more of rural people living outside Jerusalem, who could not worship at the temple (or bring sacrifices to the door of the temple) as the original Law of Moses commanded because of the remote distance. So this led to various differences in interpretation of the Torah. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky didn't kill himself'']]</sup> 23:25, December 21, 2023 (EST)
