What Does Jesus Christ actually look like?

If you have seen a painting of Jesus Christ having white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, then it's the not right appearance.

Jesus lived in 1st Century AD in the Middle East, so he had olive skin. He had black hair and a beard.


Is Jesus only painted as white man? No, there are many other culture painting Jesus. That depends where the painter's come from. Like if they are Chinese, they would paint Jesus as Chinese. In India, Jesus is sometimes depicted with Indian features, such as almond-shaped eyes and a lighter skin tone.

Asian Christian art incorporates local artistic styles, blending Christian themes with traditional motifs.


Images of Jesus from his lifetime are unknown. The Old Testament has descriptions of the appearances of other individuals, but it gives no clue as to what Jesus looks like.


The brown eyes and skin of other first-century Jews from Galilee, a region in biblical Israel, are probably what the historical Jesus had in common.



The Bible also has contradictory passages. For example, the Book of Psalms states that the coming saviour was "fairer than the children of men" in terms of physical attractiveness, yet Isaiah depicts him as having "no beauty or majesty."


The image of a white Jesus has deep historical roots, shaped by artistic choices, cultural context, and the absence of definitive historical references
