(Isa 50:6 KJV) I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
(Isa 53:2 KJV) For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Those are the only two verses that I know of that discuss anything about what Jesus looked like.
He had a beard, and he was not handsome.

Josephus Flavious (spelling) said something similar about Jesus - not attractive. How Jesus came to this earth is not what many want to believe - lowly manger with animals ... but it is true!
When He comes back, watch out! it will be majestic.

and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him Could apply in a spiritual, ironic sense as well. Jesus was constantly getting in the Pharisees' face. He didn't flatter the official Judaism of that age.
