That was speaking of His Passion. Of course, a person who was beaten to a pulp and was crowned with thorns is not going to look attractive.

No.. it was not about the Passion.....it was talking about how he grew up.....”He grew up before Him like a tender shoot and like a root out of a dry ground, (which is not attractive), He had no beauty or majesty to attract us.” Is53:2

The Hebrew word “beauty” is translated “fine-looking” and also used of David in ISa 16:18.

Nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.. and is well accepted that Christ’s apperance would not be found attractive....all through the new testament we see people attracted by the ‘words’ He spoke.....nothing about how he looked....because God knows the heart of mman that they indeed make judgements by appearances...it is not surprising Jesus would not be attractive in the physical sense. It would have distracted from His message...

WRONG! First of all, you didn't even know that Scripture existed and now you pass it off as after the torture. After the torture, Jesus was UNRECOGNIZABLE.

You beat me to it :-)

Thanks, anyway :-)

In my Biblical studies, this passage from Scripture was the “NT concealed in the OT” and was pointing to the future Passion of Our Lord.

Behold the Man.
