no one knows because no one has ever seen Jesus, or Mary or Joseph for that matter, there has never been a picture of any of them or the disciples, it really is so unfortunate that so many people seek out the dead, and try and put faces on them, religion really has discredited mankind by painting a picture of what they all may have looked like, and as a catholic I really am appalled at what we pray to, when in all reality we do not know what colour they were or what they looked like or if they really did exist, we simply read, and are taught what the bible says, and for me it just dose not make any sense that any of this is really real because I see it as simply a story.

No one knows His facial features.He would not have anything of Joseph who had Nothing to do with the pregnancy.Maybe He had
some of Marys looks,yet what does it matter,He was indeed the most beautiful person ever upon the earth.

I would think not. Yes, God did let Mary birth Jesus, but Joseph and Mary didn't have sex before Mary concieved. But you never know. Thats one question you should ask God when you get up to Heaven. I hope I will see you up there sis. God bless,

he may have had human features of Mary as she was his biological and earthly mother but not of Joseph as he was not his biological father. Jesus was God in man form. God knows no sin therefore he had to experience a human experience, not sin, because he was sinless, but a human experience so that he could lend his salvation to us. He had to take on our sins so that we would be worthy of heaven.

We cannot actually know the answer to that one because the Bible, nor any other ancient text that testifies to the life of Jesus, gives us any details. Plus, they did not have photographs back then, so we cannot actually speculate either way. It is not a bad question to ask though.

Who knows, the only features mentioned about Jesus in the Bible are his spiritual features of Godliness and Holiness.

Have you not read the Scripture?
Gospel According to Saint Luke
Chapter 1
46 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
"Shall call me blessed"... These words are a prediction of that honour which the church in all ages should pay to the Blessed Virgin. Let Protestants examine whether they are any way concerned in this prophecy.
51 He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. 54 He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy: 55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

Why in the world would Jesus bear the features of His step-father???? That makes no sense.

How the hell could we know what he looked like.
Yes, he probably looked like an almalgamation of his mother (Mary) and whoever fathered him (Joseph, the milkman, ect). No way of telling really is there.
