His life and actions, especially during the Last Supper, align with the central elements of the Nazarite vow, showing how He embodied the dedication, separation, and holiness associated with being a Nazarite. | While Jesus was not a Nazarite in the full, traditional sense of the vow, the Nazarite appears to be a prophetic riddle concerning Christ; He fulfilled its spirit and purpose in several key ways.

Abstaining from Wine: At the Last Supper, Jesus took a literal Nazarite-like vow when He chose not to drink wine.
