The Bible in Isaiah says about Jesus appearance that he had no form nor comeliness that we should desire him. In other words he wasn’t built and he wasn’t handsome.

He may not have been handsome but I seriously doubt someone could grow up skilled as a carpenter in that day and age and not have some kind of physique.

Don't forget, it's the same guy who made a whip of cords and threw the money changers from the Temple, and after being almost beaten to death at the whipping post, still managed to carry His own cross for part of the distance.

I agree....you work with your hands like carpenters do...and let's remember there weren't any power tools in His day....it was all manual labor....you get strong.

I’m just going by Isaiah’s words. You realize it’s possible to be strong AND not look like a hunk?
