What Jesus Really Looked Like

I think he would have looked ultimately kind and loving, whatever his race.

I think his physical form would have been perceived as beautiful by everyone regardless of his ethnic influenced features because his soul radiated love. I would not be surprised that artists from Western ethnicities portrayed him as Anglo only because they perceived love personified in an Anglo form.

He showed us, the body is not important. It's who you are within that body.

I like to think that every morning when I look in the mirror, lol. Joking, looks are like a view to me, doesn't mean anything after a couple of days of it.

The purported letter reads, in translation:


Lentulus, the Governor of the Jerusalemites to the Roman Senate and People, greetings. There has appeared in our times, and there still lives, a man of great power (virtue), called Jesus Christ. The people call him prophet of truth; his disciples, son of God. He raises the dead, and heals infirmities. He is a man of medium size (statura procerus, mediocris et spectabilis); he has a venerable aspect, and his beholders can both fear and love him. His hair is of the colour of the ripe hazel-nut, straight down to the ears, but below the ears wavy and curled, with a bluish and bright reflection, flowing over his shoulders. It is parted in two on the top of the head, after the pattern of the Nazarenes. His brow is smooth and very cheerful with a face without wrinkle or spot, embellished by a slightly reddish complexion. His nose and mouth are faultless. His beard is abundant, of the colour of his hair, not long, but divided at the chin. His aspect is simple and mature, his eyes are changeable and bright. He is terrible in his reprimands, sweet and amiable in his admonitions, cheerful without loss of gravity. He was never known to laugh, but often to weep. His stature is straight, his hands and arms beautiful to behold. His conversation is grave, infrequent, and modest. He is the most beautiful among the children of men
