Where does one get the idea Jesus was sporting long hair?

Answer 1

Leonardo Da Vinci's model when he painted the last supper was Prieto who had a long hair and angelic face. Later, the same model (Prieto) paused as Judas Escariote in the same painting.

Answer 2

The way Jesus had his haircut depends on his cultural niche.
at that time, in Judea, the Roman / Greek style for men was short, military style haircut, but orthodox Jews had their hair cut short but kept the hair of their sideburns long and uncut, as is still the customary haircut among orthodox Jews.
I suppose Jesus, who belonged to the ultra orthodox group of Jews, cut his hair in that conservative style.
Naturally, he could be balding at his age, but that was not very common.

Answer 3

Jesus wouldn't have had long hair. It was against tradition for a man to have long hair.

I am not sure why everyone thinks that he would, although if he was a nazarite as many believe he and John the baptist were, He would have had long hair.

Answer 4

Men were not so well groomed as one might think.It was a shame for a man to have long hair 1Cor.11:14,but compared to a woman it was short.He did have a beard for they plucked the hairs from His face.Isaiah 50:6

Answer 5

We don't know for sure, but that's what all the pictures of Jesus look like.

Answer 6

just an educated guess, I suppose, due to the fact that it happened to be the common way men wore their hair at that time.

Answer 7

No Idea
Maybe because the painters asumed he looked like that

Answer 8

There was no such person as Jesus.

Answer 9

Most men did at that time.
Anyway, its just a guess.

Answer 10

He was the first hippie ever.
