What did Jesus look like?

Question

I'm sure I'll get varying responses here so lemme have it

Answer 1

Murdock?

Answer 2

Very reputable Christians told me he was tall, had a good body from working out at the Galalee gym 4 times a week, had good hair with some product in it, very blue, piercing eyes, long lashes, and very big feet...WE are talking size 15 here! They also told me he wore only caftans made by Versace, but then I am not so sure about that one. I understand he could have been quite the lady killer, but...living with 13 men day and night casts doubt on whether or not he actually killed any ladies...but he did down more than a few, and here, his wine making abilities were unmatchable. He did have contracts with GQ, but was always stirring it up with the Romans, so rarely made a shoot. And regardless of what you have heard, even though he was a semite, I have it on full reliable accounts that his skin was as white as the snow. But what I really want to know is.>>what would he think of all this Christianity stuff were he to miraculously return??? do you think he would as astounded as I am over all this stuff?

Answer 3

Isaiah 53:1-12

Answer 4

Dark hair, dark skin -- as a Hebrew, he might have looked like a Jewish man of his age. He was probably very strong as well as he would not have been able to go into the temple and get away with kicking out the money changers otherwise. Some say he may have had red hair, but ultimately as no portraits of him were painted at the time, no one really knows exactly what he looked like.

Answer 5

Well. He wasn't white and he wasn't blond. Thats for sure. To answer your question you have only to look at the region he was from. He did not look white. His hair wasn't straight. His eyes were not blue. He more than likely had black or brown hair. Which could have been any texture BUT str8. His complexion was probably what people would consider "tanned" to a "caramel colored tone. I am iffy on his eyes. Lighter shades of brown or hazel maybe.

Answer 6

Since you asked in the past tense, I am assuming you mean while he was a human on earth......

a man, with trimmed hair and beard (since he followed what was said to the Israelites)

He must have been attractive, being perfect, as well as approachable, since many people came to listen to him.

As to his actual physical characterists, other than listing the general characteristics of those in the area, no one really knows anymore, since cameras were not in existence back then.

Answer 7

Actually, I think He looked different before and after the Resurrection. I think before the resurrection, he looked no different than those around him, except I'm sure those eyes must have been something. But after the resurrection, when he was utterly glorified. Watch out!

Answer 8

Nothing like the pictures you see, I'm sure.
Probably olive complexion, dark hair, dark eyes.

Most of the pictures are what the artists imagine Him to look like, and some pictures have become famous, even tradition, over time.

Answer 9

All we know about him is that he was Jewish (therefore lighter complexion). We know that since he was a perfect man, that he was attractive looking with an exceptional build.

A prophecy in Isaiah referred to the Messiah as disfigured, however this wasn't referring to his physical appearance, it was referring to how the Jewish populace would ultimately view him, (he wouldn't be the type of person they expected).

He most likely had a beard and mustache since that was the Jewish custom.

Answer 10

He was an unassuming, normal looking Jew. I suppose he had dark hair and eyes and was probably olive skinned as is the norm for that region. By all accounts he was just your average 30 year old jewish male.
