If we take a look at these artworks, the earliest date back to the 3rd and 4th centuries, such as "Adoration of the Magi" (3rd century) "Healing of The Paralytic" (3rd century), and "Christ between Peter and Paul", (4th century). This image has remained relatively similar for the last 2 thousand years, which has helped to mold a look that is now generally accepted. So, it is possible that as scripture never gave a strong description of his physical characteristics, artists would adhere to a set of principles from their time to depict what Jesus looked like. This stands in direct contradiction to "having no beauty or majesty to attract us to him", as stated in the Bible.Īlthough artworks were readily being produced in the time that Jesus lived, there are no known works surviving of him today.
Take for example Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man (1490), which until now remains the most well-known, spot-on depiction of the ideal human male body proportions, and guess what - this man stood slightly below 180 cm. If the Shroud holds truth then Jesus stood a grand 6-10 inches (15.24-25.4 cm) over the average height of a man for his day, and would still be above average height in the majority of countries today as of 2021 and beyond.īeing tall is a desirable trait, and for centuries 180 cm has been described within the "perfect" range for an adult male's height. Some believe that it the legitimate, while others see this as a religious representation of what he could have looked like, rather than the actual imprint of his body. However, there are debates as to whether the Shroud is Jesus or not. In 2019, after 20 years of studying the Shroud, by using state of the art technology researchers in Rome turned this into a precise 3d "carbon copy" - a representation of a full-sized body, showing that if this was indeed Jesus, he would have stood around 5'11" or 180.3 cm tall. It has been claimed to be that of Jesus himself, once covering his body. Theories of how this emerged range from some primitive kind of photography, to being burnt into the cloth through "radiant energy". Other sources claim that he could have been much taller than this, and the debate continues.ĭating back to the 13th century, the Shroud of Turin is a supposed cloth image of a crucified man. Various research suggests that for the time he lived Jesus was neither tall nor short, standing at around average height. Was Jesus a Short or Tall Man? (Evidence) So the closest to a physical description we can find here is saying Jesus was ordinary in appearance, equating to average looking - which we can speculate includes his height. This is stated in Isaiah 53:2, that "he had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him" (1). The closest thing we get to a physical description of him is the minor details of his clothing, but there is no description of his physical features. There is no reference to the height of Jesus in the Bible. During this era, the average height of skeletal remains from time put men around 5'5-6 (165.1 - 167.64 cm) inches tall, which is roughly 4 inches less than the average height of today. While still debated, it is generally believed that Jesus lived somewhere between 4 BC or slightly before until 30/33 AD.
