Wow who came up with this, does it matter, all we need to know is that Jesus Christ came in the form of man as a sacrifice for our sins so that we can be forgiven our sins, so that we can be close to God and be saved in eternal life, we need to have a personal relationship with God, and with the way death comes knocking on peoples door at any given instantaneously moment, its best not to wait.

The Bible doesn't give any specific physical description for Jesus (unlike Goliath who was "3 inches less than 10 feet tall"). Any specific detail about his appearance is just a guess. Some guesses are based on the fact that he was a Jewish rabbi and that he was a Nazarene (that's where the long hair comes from).

I think you'll find actual references to the heights of all the characters in the Bible there, ma'am.
The reference for Jesus' height has already been provided to you, so, I shan't repeat the information, ma'am.
Perhaps your confusion is because of the popular image of Jesus Christ that one sees nowadays.
This was a result of the mistaking of the Shroud of Turin to be that of Jesus Christ, ma'am; while it was actually that of a Knight Templar centuries after Christ.
Have a nice day, ma'am.

The Jews in Jesus day probably were relatively short. But, how tall Jesus was is a guess. Probably the average height of a Jewish man in His day.

it would explain why he was running around saying he was the human form of god - obviously small man syndrome.....
