Jesus must have been a very handsome man with beautiful semitic features - NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!

Ahem....

Isaiah 53

2 ...he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

I know Isaiah 53, however according to many theologists (and I rather agree with them) this description refers to Jesus on his Crucifixion Day.

It refers to the man that was:
tired - since being deprived of sleep the night before,
scared - since he felt the weight of the sins of the world to carry,
depressed - since he felt the proportions of the pain to come,
bruised - since being beaten (even tortured) by Romans,
utterly devastated - since he was betrayed and abandoned by his disciples, ridiculed by people, misunderstood and condemned by Sanhedrin, etc.

These facts put together surely could have made him look like in Isaiah 53.
