How tall was Jesus?

If the Shroud of Turin weren’t a proven crock, then maybe we’d know. According to prophecy at least, there wouldn’t have been anything especially eye-catching about him: “For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.” (Isaiah 55:2) I would guess that would apply to his stature, as well.

9’7” exactly.

”But as quoted by Eisler (p. 467) Josephus in his Halosis II described Jesus as follows: “a man of simple appearance, mature age, small stature, three cubits high [4 ft 6 in; 137 cm], hunchbacked, with a long face, long nose, and meeting eyebrows, so that they who see him might be affrighted, with scanty hair (but) with a parting in the middle of his head, after the manner of the Nazirites, and with an undeveloped beard.”” source

@rebbel
Josephus should not be relied upon too closely. He was aligned with the Pharisiac Jews and was writing to convince the Romans that good Jews were not their enemies; only those Jews who followed the new-fangled cults were a problem to their ways of life. It is no surprise at all he declares Jesus to be very scary looking.

Wikipedia on his work, The Jewish War:
Rather, he blames the Jewish War on what he calls ‘unrepresentative and over-zealous fanatics’ among the Jews, who led the masses away from their traditional aristocratic leaders (like himself), with disastrous results.
