[5] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
galilean
   an inhabitant or native of galilee. this word was used as a name
   of contempt as applied to our lord's disciples luke 22:59; acts
   2:7. all the apostles, with the exception of judas iscariot
   acts 1:11, were galileans. peter was detected by his galilean
   accent matt. 26:69; mark 14:70.
   
     this was also one of the names of reproach given to the early
   christians. julian the apostate, as he is called, not only used
   the epithet himself when referring to christ and his apostles,
   but he made it a law that no one should ever call the christians
   by any other name.
