ALL the prophets of God had beards.

NO It's not in the Bible. Jesus I would guess would have a beard. In those days the Jewish men had beards and long hair. On the sides where worn in locks.

In Leviticus there is a commandment that men should not trim the corners of their beards and Jesus would have followed that commandment. Surprisingly, Jesus lived in a time before cameras had been invented! There were never any photographs taken of him. So we don't know much about how he really looked.
We know that Elvis had long sideburns where the corners of his beard would have been, but it has not been determined whether there is any connection between these two famous men.
Hope this helps.

The only mention of Christ having a beard is in prophecy:
"I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting." (Isa 50:6)
And the only mention of any wrongness in regards to a mans hair is in its length (not beard hair, BTW):
"Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?" (1Co 11:14)
No, nowhere in the Bible does it say that it is wrong for a man to have a beard.

We know that Jesus had a beard because before he was crucified his beard was plucked out.

He may or may not have had a beard. The only thing we know for sure is that His skin was probably olive or brown or black. Not white, as depicted in most pictures of Him. And He certainly did not have European facial characteristics.

it was a cultureal thing - only jewish men who were married had beards. Christ, an unmarried man, did not have a beard

He probably had a beard, so that Jews and Romans could tell each other apart. It was like a style.

Jesus had a beard....
Isaiah 50:6, "I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting."
