You may be correct about the long hair part, although I’m sure there’s another side to the discussion. I found one site claiming that he wore his hair long, but since this site also claimed that Jesus’ brother James was a high priest of the Temple, they obviusly know little about the Bible. (Jesus and James were members of the tribe of Judah, not even Levites, much less priests.)

What’s the definition of “short?” Crewcut, modern business cut something like Julius Caesar, shoulder length?

That Jesus wore a beard, perhaps well-trimmed, and a robe is quite beyond dispute.

The true point is that he was an ordinary-looking Jew of his day, with nothing about his grooming or attire that was at all unusual. It was his message that was striking, not his appearance.

I seem to be having double-posting issues. My apoligies.
