In the book of Matthew, it says he rode two donkeys. Matthew and Luke copy a lot of stuff from Mark, which was written first. The donkey story is there to fulfill prophesy. It was prophesied that the messiah would ride a donkey into Jerusalem. It also said he would be a king and vanquish their enemies and rule in peace and prosperity, but the New Testament authors figured riding a donkey was cl...
Was thinking exact same thing reading this comment, and now I can't get that thought out of my mind |

Except his dad was a carpenter, so he probably had some excess lumber hookups for building oversized furniture..
Yeah but have you ever had a parent deliver furniture for you while you're couch surfing? Especially in your 30s |

he had a pair of them You mean at least two of them. All we know for sure is more than one.
Is that why Mary was so into him? Cause he was a shlong tripod? |

According to the internet, a grown ass donkey can carry up to around 80kg, and the good book says Jesus was riding one, so we should assume this is somewhat the upper limit for his mass
That is on average I presume? Maybe the donkey was on steroids. |

I'm over here trying to imagine the possibility that Jesus didn't have a beard.
So John the Baptiste was a nazarite and they don’t cut their hair or trim their beard. Jesus takes over John’s mission, and there no lines from Jesus explaining why his hair is trimmed or excusing hair or anything. I know it’s popular to note there’s no reason to think Jesus was a nazarite but fundamentally I think we can conclude he likely was. |

Rev 1:14-16, New International Version has Jean-Baptiste's account of Jesus's appearance: 14The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His ...

Yeah but that's Revelation. So it's like when Gandalf comes back as Gandalf the White. It doesn't mean his hair was always white. |

He fit on a cross. I assume those were fairly standard in size. The Roman’s seemed like real schticklers for detail and order. I can’t see them going to Barney’s Discount Cross Emporium to save a few drachma.
I think they'd rather construct a plus-size cross than not crucify someone properly. |

White hair, "blazing" eyes, a shining bright face... did Jesus have albinism (with sunburned feet)? |

He could walk on water, does that give a lower limit on mass?
Yeah, everyone here seems to forget magic was involved here. For all we know he could have been 12' tall and light as a feather, with retractable beard and 5 legs. |

I think we can be pretty sure that he was no T-Rex though. I've never seen someone try, but I'm confident that you can't crucify them with their short arms.
You really had me going at first. But then you dropped the truth bomb in that last sentence. |

The temple market he overturned tables at isn't covered and wasn't then either. No upper limit, bigger than a baby but we can infer smaller than a planetary body to some extent. The temple is technically just the largish building in the middle. |

That was a damn fine rabbit hole to go down just to get to the point of setting the upperbound of the Jesus size limit to 160kg. |

It is my undisputed and always right opinion... ...that he must have been a pretty large dude to carry that cross. So about as big as an Elepanth. That is smaller than a temple. |

Good question. Low enough density would explain the water walking |

It's been said he's pretty holy, so probably not very dense. |

American here - babies, temples...? Enough of your metric system insanity, I need this in football fields. Anyway, we do know Jesus wasn't poor. The Wedding at Cana was a very upscale event - based on the specific types and amounts of expensive anointing oils mentioned in the text. "A poor carpenter's son" would have been there waiting tables for some extra money. Being a guest tells us he rubbed shoulders with some high rollers. His father Joseph might have been a top craftsman with wealthy clients. |

I googled it because it sounded familiar; [book of revelations (https://www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-hair-like-wool.html) (i.e the bibles "Epilogue"!) Since he's dead and this is a vision, I think they were actually trying to depict him as literally being a sheep in this passage. His hair is not just wooly but white, too. Jesus was compared to a lamb so often because jewish tradition had lambs slaughtered on passover, for eating. He is "the sacrificial lamb" - Jesus's crucifixion was seen as him sacrificing himself on passover, if I understand correctly. I only mention this because it's one of the interesting elements of the religion that people don't fully understand the significance of because its actually rooted in the existing Jewish traditions. |
