If he was the descendent of Jews, he probably looked like lots of other Jews (i.e., Middle Eastern: dark-brown-to-olive skin, dark eyes, dark hair, maybe short, probably hairy). To the person above me who said that Israelis now are white, that's because many have European ancestry dating to the time of the Diaspora, and came to the area that is now known as "Israel" after World War II. Jesus would not have looked like many modern Israelis.

Isn't that an silly question? Jesus was a Jew who lived in the Galilee area of Palestine. These people are usually considered white.

The bible says: he had hair like wool, and skin like copper.
So he was a man of color. People always want to forget his complexion to make themselves feel better ..... Or make him look like what society constantly is brainwashing us to believe is better. How many pictures have you seen of Jesus that actually reflects what the Bible says he looked like? Few or none? But it doesn't really matter what complexion or even what race he was.
Just read the Bible for yourself. Dont let anyone tell you anything without doing your own research.

Jesus was neither black or white. He was from the Middle East. Have you looked at any Middle Eastern men lately. They are rather olive skinned which is neither white nor black.

Jesus was a Middle Eastern.
He may have looked like Yasser Arafat's complexion.
So neither Caucasian nor black.

What descriptions remain ( from non-Christian sources for the most part) describe him as a "very common looking Jew". Certainly no long flowing blond hair and light skin.

No one could ever really know unless they was 2000 years old. Most people just assume he as their color. But he was born in the middle east So I would say brown.

Mary was a direct descendant of David. Therefore, Jesus was Jewish.

Tend to think Jesus probably looked something like Osama bin Laden, not the pretty, well groomed pictures we see in bible books.
