According to St Peter. Joshua Ben Nazarene (aka. Jesus) was Dark shinned. He had short black curly hair and was not good to the eye and walked with a slight limp.

Olive skin and hazel eyes. Loved the fresh air. Preached some good advice to live a harmonious life. The son of God is just stretching a story too far.
I'm sure he was a genuinely helpful good guy and they were probably hard to come by in the Arab world as today shows.

Look at the geography of the region and look at the people of that area now and it stands to reason that Jesus was the colour of the these people.Desert Nomadic or a light golden brown.

The point about Christ is it really does not matter!!
In his eyes we all count so why would we care what the colour of his skin was.
Probably Arabic looking!
Did you know that in Bali Indonesia Ronald Mc Donald has Asian features. Its a similar thing we all want to 'own' him. Jesus not Ronald!

I would imagine that Jesus was an arab considering his family background and where he lived so he could either have been quite dark skinned or he may have had lighter skin as you can get "white" arabs. It would depend on his genes.
Its more likely that he would have been dark skinned.
He certainly wouldnt have been the white, golden haired man that we associate with in paintings of him.

He was probably about the same color as the Middle Easterners are now. If he were as white as he is in most famous paintings, he would have had to come from Europe.

He would have had a brown or olive complexion. I know the Christians will say white but that doesn`t make sense. Just to let you know I`m white.

jesus would have looked middle eastern a bit like bin laden. that is the shocking truth OMG(if he existed), shut up, deal with it, how the hell could he have been white! that is just the stupid institution called church portraying him white. would you have all gone if he looked like an arab? or if he was black...would you still worship him? i do not think so...
i hope the next pope is black. that will show you all.

Jesus was from the Arab lands, from the tribe of David. He was Jewish and lived in the middle east. He would have been a kind of olive skinned dude I guess.

If you assume he existed, then the same colour as other people born 2000 years ago in the Middle East - which I would assume would have been olive skinnre.
