The Real Jesus - Chapter 6: - Garner Ted Armstrong - 1977

Garner Ted Armstrong

Scripture indicates Jesus was neither outstandingly tall, nor outstandingly short; He was therefore of the average height of the average Jewish young man of His day. Research suggests that men were somewhat larger then than they subsequently became during the Middle Ages; consequently Jesus could have been between 5' 7" and 5' 10". His physical stature would have been similar to any other average laboring person who had spent his growing years lifting, tugging, pushing, pulling, carrying, and enjoying hard work out of doors. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
