Conclusion, the word Jew does not appear in original Biblical Scriptures. Other words appear and with new editions of the Bible, we find the word Jew appearing. Whether in any instance the word Jew replaced had the same meaning as Jew would require examining the original texts. What Dr. Qumsiyeh and others argue is at the time of Jesus that the word Judean and Jehudan referred to a resident of Judea (according to Mazin, a person was actually identified by where there mother was born, thus Jesus was a Nazarene, not a Judean) . He explains Samaritans were called Samaritans because they lived in Samaria.
Jesus never called Himself a Jew.
