Everyone thinks they know what Jesus looked like. Go ahead – Sketch it out. Start with the long flowing white linen robe. Add the long hair and the beard. Give him the face of Max Van Sydow (Greatest Story Ever Told, 1965), or Jeffrey Hunter (King of Kings, 1961), or even James Caviezel (Passion of the Christ, 2004). Think you’ve got it? Not! The real Jesus looked nothing like that. What did he look like?
More than 1500 years ago, St. Augustine (354-430 A.D.) lamented that: “we have absolutely no knowledge of His appearance” (quoted in Wheless, 1990, p.112). One of the problems is that most Jews in Jesus’ era shunned the practice of making images of their Gods, specifically forbidden by the Decalogue of Moses (v 2), and this, in turn, generalized to any kinds of images at all (Wilson, 1984). But the good Bishop was mistaken. We have lots of information.
Jesus was Small One clue to Jesus’ appearance comes from the stories about his death. When Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and found it empty, she inquired of the “gardener”, where is Jesus? and promised to lift Jesus’ body up if he told her where he was. Obviously if Mary were capable of lifting Jesus up, he can’t have been very large. In fact, the average male at that time was 5’1” and weighed 110 pounds.
The Gospel of Luke (19:3) describes Zaccheus’ attempt to see Jesus while he preached in a crowd: “And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.” Of course, Luke may be referring to Zaccheus rather than Jesus, but the idea that Jesus was slight can be seen again in the Acts of John: “…I was afraid and cried out, and he, turning about, appeared as a man of small stature…” (v. 90)
We have another clue to Jesus’ appearance in the Qur’an. One night, a winged snow-white beast takes the prophet Muhammad to Jerusalem to the Temple where he meets Moses and Jesus, and Jesus is the smaller of the two.
The Slavonic copy of Josephus’s Capture of Jerusalem, contains the following description of a man wanted by Pontius Pilate for claiming that he was the King of the Jews: “a man of simply appearance, mature age, dark skin, small stature, three cubits high, hunchbacked with a long face, long nose, and meeting eyebrows…with scanty hair with a parting in the middle of his head, after the manner of the Nazarites, and with an undeveloped beard (Quoted in Knight & Lomas, 1996, p. 230).” This description is curiously like that of Paul in the Acts of Paul and Thecla: “…a man small in size, bald-headed…with eyebrows meeting, rather hook-nosed…” (v. 3)
Thus, from a variety of sources we see that Jesus was small in stature.

WAS HE SHORT
The Gospel of Luke (19:3) ?And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.? Of course, Luke may be referring to Zaccheus rather than Jesus
Acts of John: ??I was afraid and cried out, and he, turning about, appeared as a man of small stature?? (v. 90)
WAS HE HANDSOME & WHITE
The Slavonic copy of Josephus?s Capture of Jerusalem, contains the following description of a man wanted by Pontius Pilate for claiming that he was the King of the Jews: ?a man of simply appearance, mature age, dark skin, small stature, three cubits high, hunchbacked with a long face, long nose, and meeting eyebrows?with scanty hair with a parting in the middle of his head, after the manner of the Nazarites, and with an undeveloped beard (Quoted in Knight & Lomas, 1996, p. 230).? This description is curiously like that of Paul in the Acts of Paul and Thecla: ??a man small in size, bald-headed?with eyebrows meeting, rather hook-nosed?? (v. 3)
In the Acts of Peter, Peter quotes a prophet who described Jesus – ?And we saw him and he had no beauty nor comeliness.
In the Acts of John, John says: ?And oft-times he [Jesus] would appear to me as a small man and uncomely
Tertullian said: ?he would not have been spat upon by the Roman soldiers if his face had not been so ugly as to inspire spitting.
BEARDED WITH LONG HAIR
Almost all of the early artifacts concerning Jesus picture him as clean-shaven and with short hair. That should come as no surprise to anyone who has looked at coins, busts or statues of the early Roman emperors. Virtually every one of them had short hair and are clean shaven.
The first appearance painting of Jesus with long hair and a beard was not until the “Bapistry of the Orthodox” in Ravenna, Italy, c 500 A.D.
Have I interpreted the biblical evidence correctly?

? Is This Image Really Jesus ?

As Jesus Christ to deceive the world!

The images and idols displayed in the churches are not of Christ. Michelangelo first painted the most common religious image used in deceiving the world today. It is a picture of a blue-eyes European with blond hair, who they maliciously claim to be Jesus Christ. This false image was modeled after Cesare Borgia, who was the second son of so-called Pope Alexander VI, of Rome. The real Jesus, according to all scientific and historical facts, is an Afro-Asiatic man.
<< Exodus 20: <3> Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
<4> Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: <5> thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the father upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; <6> and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Herodotus, an ancient historian, described exactly what the ancient Egyptians and Hebrews looked like, which he witnessed with his own eyes. Herodotus, who visited Egypt about 457 BC, says in Book II:
[The Nubians, the Egyptians, and the Ethiopians have broad noses, thick lips, woolly hair, and they are burnt of skin.]
Let’s examine some principle verses in the 1611 translation of the original Bible which confirm the fact that the Israelites were a non-Caucasian people of Asiatic descent. Please be aware that many of the new versions and translations of the Bible have maliciously mistranslated the verses where the prophets are describing the complexion of the Israelites! If the Bible you’re using translates the following verses differently, that translation is false. Of all the English translations, the King James 1611 translation is so far the most accurate I’ve seen. The 1611 version is the closest translation to the original Hebrew Bible. Use that version only, unless you can understand the original Hebrew. Do not waste your time reading those so-called new translations of the Bible. They are false.
Directly and indirectly, the following verses reveal the visual appearance of the Biblical Israelites:
<< Lamentations 4:8 >> [Their visage is blacker than a coal.]
<< Lamentations 5:10 >> [our skin was black like an oven.]
<< Job 30:30 >> [My skin is black upon me.]
<< Jeremiah 14:2 >> [Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they are black unto the ground.]
…Different shades of brown like the earth!
<< Song of Solomon 1:5, 6 >> [I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me because I am black.]
<< Acts 13:1 >> [Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas and Simeon that was called Niger..]
The disciples were being called “Niger”, a word that means black. There was an event in the Bible where a Roman policeman called Paul an Egyptian, because Paul resembled the Africans:
<< Acts 21:38, 39 >> [And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, canst thou speak Greek? (Paul did not look European: Paul was of a dark complexion) …Art not thou that Egyptian (African), which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers? But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew.]
<< Amos 9:7 >> [Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, Oh house of Israel.]
Paul and all of the disciples were Asiatic in appearance, as were the original Egyptians and Ethiopians. They did not look like Greeks, Romans, and Germans. That is why the centurion captain asked Paul if he was an Egyptian.
All of the nations descended from Noah. According to the tenth chapter of Genesis, Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of the Africans. Therefore, Ham could not have been a Caucasian man. Japheth was the father of the Asian. Therefore, Japheth had to be an Asiatic man, like his brother Ham. Shem was the father of the Middle Easterners, the Indians of India. In reality we are all one family upon the earth, with common ancestors! The nations of antiquity were all of the Asiatic type. If all three of Noah’s sons gave birth to people of color, Noah himself must have been of the Asiatic type also, and going all the way back to Adam.
The skin color of Christ is described as being dark: as if it was burned in a furnace.
<< Revelation 1:14,15 >> [His head and his hairs were white like wool, white as snow (Christ suffered a lot, and went gray early in life), and his eyes were as a flame of fire (reddish), and his feet like unto fine brass as if they burned in a furnace!]
Brass is already brown, like a doorknob; anything burned has to get very dark from oxidation. And Christ’s feet were the same color as the rest of his body: dark brass!
