***The only biblical hair is Samson's, ***\
From Isaiah's prohpetic account of Jesus trial...
"The Lord GOD has opened My ear; And I was not rebellious, Nor did I turn away. I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting... Isa. 50:5,6

Ah, good. Christ's beard is biblical.
So, how did I know that Christ had a beard? Did I wonder about His beard till you showed me the Isaiah verse? Or did I read about his masculinity in the Gospels and interpreted that into an image of a bearded man? Or maybe -- and that is the factual truth in my case -- look at an icon of a Savior?
Do Protestants wait till they read Isaiah before they make those pictures where Christ invariably looks like a bearded Swede back from a beach vacation?
Most translations of Isaiah have "cheeks", not "beard" (I will spare myself going to the Hebrew original at this moment). Wouldn't "plucking the cheeks" require interpretation? Shouldn't we translate "plucking" as "pinching" and deduce that Christ did NOT have a beard?
