Minsan imagine ko na ano ba talaga ang 'chura ni Jesus? Tangkad ba siya? Average lang? and everything about him during his time.
eto ang nakuha ko so far: This information pertaining to the historical Jesus is nowhere recorded in ancient writing: Jesus was more than likely of average height and built impressively. He was a carpenter, so he probably had strong arm muscles. He walked around everywhere he went so he probably had impressive leg muscles as well. Given all that, he was a perfect man on top of that. So he must have had a commanding and authoritative appearance about him. No one knows the exact height or weight of Jesus. Jews tend to be shorter, and Jesus was a Jew. Well, the Bible says that Jesus didn't look like anything special, and he wasn't the type of person you could easily point out. So, Jesus was probably shorter, like the average Jewish man was, closer to the 5' end rather than the 6' end. Does it really matter? The Bible doesn't say anything about Jesus' appearance that I can recall. I do believe he was most likely of average height. In the book of Isaiah chapter 53 one can read: [v.1]: Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?[v.2]: For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.This passage, assuming it a prophecy of Christ (Catholics, evangelical Christians, and fundamentalist Christians interpret this as a prophecy, but of Christ during His passion, hence the lack of beauty), may lend itself to the interpretation that there was no physical beauty that He would stand out or above in a group of people.
It doesn't matter if Jesus was taller or shorter because Jesus was an average-looking Jew and didn't stand out in the Jewish crowd.
Judas had to identify Him to the soldiers and priests who came to arrest Him because he didn't stand out from the other disciples.
In physical appearance He would have been of average height and build, olive-skinned complexion. (for example, the shortest verse in the Bible says "He wept.") He was certainly not like the Jesus seen in pictures, paintings, movies, and stained-glass windows.

Ok if the jews during Jesus time tend to be smaller or shorter, most probably jesus was 5 feet something not 6 feet something.
Si Judas Escariot daw ang pinaka matangkad sa mga disciples- hmm, search tayo-
Kung si Jesus ay lumaking carpenter- yes, he is probably physically fit- at kung naging bisi siya sa ministry like walking and teaching- fit nga siya.

Remember, Jesus lived in the Middle East, and He would have had the appearance of a mid-east male. Perhaps with short dark hair an olive skin colour complexion, remember,
He worked outdoors as a carpenter in the hot sun, He would have been well tanned blending in with the rest of the people in that region of the world. As for His physical stature, He would have been a very strong man of average height. The Jewish men of that time were typically 5 feet 5 inches to about 6 feet tall, so Jesus’ height could have been anywhere in that range.
As for His strength, again, He would have been a very strong man due to His occupation as a carpenter. The carpenters of Jesus’ days were more than wood workers, carpenters often worked with stones and bricks as well. Being a tradesman, Jesus would have had to do a lot of heavy lifting, cutting, hammering, digging and building, thus building up his strength.
His hands, arms, chest, back and legs would have been strong and well developed. Remember that during His torture He was beaten beyond recognition and only a strong man could have survived such a beating! A weak man would have died through such torture.
Jesus also would have had to be a strong man because in the gospel accounts Jesus had overturned the tables of the moneychangers chasing them out of the temple (Matthew 21:12; John 2:15).
No one challenged Him or tried to subdue Him, the most that would have occurred is that as he overturned the tables the merchants might have yelled, cursed and swore at Him, but they certainly did not try to challenge Him physically. A skinny weak man surly would have been jumped upon and beaten, but not Jesus - He was strong and able to take care of himself.
After Jesus would get into heated debates with the religious leaders, they would sometimes try to take hold of Him to kill Him.
Jesus would then lose Himself in a crowd of people to avoid arrest. Now if Jesus were very tall, white and skinny with long blond hair He surely could not have hidden Himself in a crowd of average height, shorthaired dark skinned people, He would have stood out like a sore thumb.
In a nutshell, it’s clear that the Jesus of the bible is not the same Jesus of art and film. Although the above gives a brief description of how Jesus would have appeared as a man, it does no justice to His current appearance a risen glorified Christ - the Son of God in His full glory.
In this short paper, we have taken a brief look at what Jesus looks like, there is no need to try to figure out what He looked like as a man because He has put off the physical body for a spiritual body and Jesus as God has to be worshiped in the spirit (John 4:24). Although we should not use images of the Father and Jesus, we as people are creatures of habit, and we like to use our imaginations, and in doing so, if we try to picture Jesus in our minds, we should picture Him as He is now in His full glory shining like the sun.

How about Apostle Paul?
"The most detailed physical description we have of Paul comes from an eyewitness resident of Iconium named Onesiphorus who describes Paul as,
"a man of small stature, with a bald head and crooked legs, in a good state of body, with eyebrows meeting and nose somewhat hooked." "
;D And www.webwriterscanada.com/anewyou/smsermon.html claims tha the tallest disciple was JUDAS ISCARIOT.

Tingnan natin ngayon ang inner circles ni Jesus- ang mga disciples--
Si Simon Peter- Madaling ma-asar o mabigla si Peter remember? John 18:10 (King James Version)
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
Who cut off the ear of a Roman soldier taking Jesus to Pilate?
No roman soldier actually had his ear cut off. The incident occurred as soldiers came to arrest Jesus, and with them were some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. The gospels of Matthew and Luke do not record the name of the disciple who cut off the ear of a servant of the high priest. John 18:10 records that it was Simon Peter, and that the servant's name was Malchus.
Next-
