The Book states that Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ. If so, did Jesus, facial or other bodily feature wise, resemble Virgin Mary? How about Joseph(the father?)? Does Bible have a passage describing his resemblance to any one of his biological parents?

I think that we must first remember that the Lord Jesus had to have Human/Jewish DNA, otherwise how could he be the true and the rightful Seed of Abraham. Yes, He was God in the flesh born of a virgin birth, but that doesn't negate that fact that He was a fetus in the womb who was connected to Mary by way of an umbilical cord.The umbilical cord causes the mother's and baby's blood vessel's to exchange content from eachother's circulatory system's. That is why at birth a clamp is put on the baby's umbilical cord so the mother doesn't loss too much blood. THE BLOOD FLOW'S ARE INTERCONNECTED!!!
How then can Jesus can be claimed as God?DNA input is that of the job of the BIOLOGICAL FATHER THAT DETERMINES THE SEX AND THE DNA OF THE CHILD. In this case Joseph didn't touch Mary sexually. God produced the DNA inside of His Son Jesus and mixed it with Abraham's blood-line. This is true...why do you think that court's always test only the male to see if the DNA matches...not the mother. Both are true scientific and spiritual facts. You see He had to be 100% Man and 100% God otherwise if His blood was not connected to humany then how could He then redeem humanity. His natural body had all the physical impulses that our's has. Hence the Scriptures in Hebrews 2;14 that states; Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil. Hebrews 4;15-16; For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the Throne of Grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Well seeing as how Joseph was not his biological father... there would be no reason for him to resemble Joseph.
Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.
Here Isaiah was talking about the comming Messiah, he says he had no form nor comeliness or beauty that would make someone desire him. In other words he looked just like everyone else. You would not be drawn to him because he looked different.
God bless

He could resemble Mary,but Joseph was His adopted Father,no genes involved.
Jesus told Jude",When you have seen me,you've seen the Father".Does that mean He looks like God the Father? Who knows?

Jesus looked like God. God did not have sex with Mary, he gave her Jesus to be born. Or Jesus looked like his parents Joseph and Mary and there is no God and Christians have consistently re-imagined Jesus in their own image.

Jesus(pbuh) must definately resemble His mother.
Jesus(pbuh) birth was miraculous,whats so odd in it,God do perform miracles,every creation is His miracle.but it doesn't mean Jesus(pbuh) was God, or Son of God.through his whole life,He preached oneness of God,n later ppl came up with idea of trinity...

Jesus did not have dna from either of his "earthly" parents, thus, there is no way he could carry a visual impression of either one.
Human as he was, he looked, spoke and ate like a human... but was also divine... with human likeness to identify with human temptation, suffering and sorrow... but with divinity to die for us;lift us up; help us realize how much GOD loves us and wants us to have a growing relationship of paternal/maternal to children type relationship.. even greater, best freind type relationship.

Haha good question! Because he was immaculately conceived, I sincerely doubt he looked like his parents. I'm prettty sure he was brown (cuz they pretty much all were), but that's about as descriptive as I can get besides the beard.
