Note that Jesus is Semitic--white, but probably tending toward a tan complexion.

Answer 3

I do know Jesus he is not found in the Bible
His real name is Yahoshue and hHe was a Jew.
So, He would be the same color as the Jew in His day.

Answer 4

He would have been dark skinned, like modern day Middle Easterners or Indians (from India), not black or white.

Answer 5

Jesus probably wasn't white or black. Since both his parents were from Isreal, he probably had a dark (not black) complexion.

Answer 6

Neither.

As a resident of Judaea in the Roman-controlled regions of Galillee, he would have racially resembled a modern Syrian/Arab.

Answer 7

once my daughter came home from school and told me he played with a brown boy, whats with this black or white? i think he was a brown boy, get it, out of the mouths of children.

Answer 8

Are those the only 2 choices?

Answer 9

Neither....he was dark skinned, though; look where he was born and his nationality. His skin tone would be the same as those from that area today.

Answer 10

Jesus would have been brown, on account of being Semitic.
