tilthat T1,1_ there is no physical description of Jesus in the Bible. volcel-official False Luke 2:52 He's larger than a baby amateuropinions By the description of him driving the moneylenders from the temple, we can also tell that he fit inside the temple, which gives us an upper bound as well as a lower bound on his size. F7:1 veraxplus Ysf. It's been said that Jesus Christ was larger than a baby but smaller than a temple

I'm over here trying to imagine the possibility that Jesus didn't have a beard.

    Well, Mary Magdalene washed his feet, so we know he had a pair of them. But she didn't trim his beard, or shave him so that stays undetermined, yeah.

    So John the Baptiste was a nazarite and they don’t cut their hair or trim their beard. Jesus takes over John’s mission, and there no lines from Jesus explaining why his hair is trimmed or excusing hair or anything. I know it’s popular to note there’s no reason to think Jesus was a nazarite but fundamentally I think we can conclude he likely was.
